<prompt> Human: Not sure if this is the correct thread, but heres my dilemma. My roommate owes me money for the last four months rent. Both of our names are on the lease. I have been paying the rent with checks. My roommate was paying me his rent in cash. What are my options for getting my money? Thanks for any advice!edit I have to come clean. I am asking for a coworker. Its just easier for me to explain the situation as if I am the one with the problem. Again thanks for all of the advice.  <response>: This may seem like obvious advice but first you need to simply state the issue to him. REmember dont complain or blame him. Dont say i hate you you always pay late blah blahsimply say its time for you to pay.
