I've just gotten out of a share house, two of the girls living there were paying a bit more in rent (as they had agreed to at the start of the tenancy) and my girlfriend sent them a message saying that I would "try to pay them back" the difference that they paid. She then later in that message said "he will pay you back what he can".
My question is, do I actually have a legal obligation to send them that money, the difference in rent or not?
I'm assuming not, because it was nothing more than a 'kind gesture' and the fact the key word "try" was used, nothing definitive or legally binding in my opinion.
I ask, because we all got out of the share house on bad terms and the two girls are now saying they will seek legal action if I don't send them the money.
Please let me know where I stand in this situation as I want to have it be over and done with asap.
Thanks in advance!
