<prompt> Human: One of my roommates took off to go live with his girlfriend two months into the 12 month lease.He agreed to still pay his share of rent because he wont have to at his girlfriends place. Today he told us one day before rent is due that he doesnt care if he loses friends over it and that hes deciding not to pay it. What can I do to get him to pay it in an easy way? Also how would I go about taking care of it in court? My other roommates and I pooled together enough money to pay his share this month but we do not have the funds to continue doing this.Assistant: It would be pretty hard to find a replacement without them being a very close friend because he was sharing the master bedroom with my other roommate before he left. It was four guys in a three bedroom apartment.  <response>: Switch the current situation so you have a free room.
