Hi legal advice,

I am a 22 (f) recent graduate from University. I currently hold a full time job, but because of school I was working reduced hours and therefore had a lower pay check. 

My father and I have been having a long drawn-out battle over room and board. We finally agreed to a price of $75 a week, but there's now a catch. He's demanding that I pay every Friday the amount and refuses to do bi-weekly schedule, but that's just semantics.

My issue is, is that he wants cash. Now, to point the obvious out, cash is not traceable, and he will not take a cheque.

In the past I bought a car, but had to put it under his name because he had me convinced that my credit score was not strong enough for it to be a loan under just my name. Now, when i agreed to this he forced me to pay the entire year including insurance in one summer, which i did, but it killed any savings I had, and every time we got in a fight, he pulled my keys, even though it was technically my car.

So I guess the advice I'm seeking is, is how do I basically cover my ass for these rent payments when things go inevitably sour? He has threatened to kick me out in the past, and I want to be able to trace the payments if I ever need to. If I call my bank to put a note on my account saying that as of May 13, 2016, the withdrawals of $150 every pay day are for rent, will that hold any grounds?

Thanks for any advice!!
