<prompt> Human: I just as in 13 days ago moved into a 2 bedroom apartment with my coworker and his girlfriend. I found out that my coworker put in his 2 weeks notice and is going to move out of state for family reasons. He hasnt told me yet. We moved in together to save money but now Id be spending more money than before if I stayed in the new apartment. My base salary is 24k. Roughly 30-32k with commission. I previously lived in a dump of a studio apartment for 445 with roughly 110 in utilities electricity,WiFi, etc.With my coworker leaving, my part of the rent would jump to about 650 if my other roommate doesnt leave. I dont really have a full estimate for a new utilities bill because Ive only lived in the new place for 13 days. Im in Tucson, Arizona which has a pretty low COL but Im still freaking out. I dont know what Im going to do. I fear Im going to be hemorrhaging money.TL:DR: Moved out of a cheap studio apt to save money with two roommates. One roommate is leaving less than a month into new lease. What can I do?EDIT: EDIT: I was going to let him tell me tonight but Im confronting him tomorrow Friday, 914. AFAIK, his GF is staying in the apartment. Also, his last day with us is Oct 8. So roughly 3 weeks. Whether hes lying or not about the exact reason hes moving doesnt matter, right?Assistant: Is his name on the lease?Human: All three of us have our names on the lease  <response>: All three of us have our names on the leaseThe burden to find a new roommate falls on him. If he bails without doing so, you still need to pay the full rent, but you can sue him for his portion and win.
