It depends on your state and county law. In FL, verbal contracts are defended in court but you must have a witness and it is considered a civil matter, You would have to take the plaintiff to court if they break the agreement, you can't just simply call the cops. Either way, it doesn't take very much to hand write a receipt and come to an agreement with a witness. Good luck.
