<prompt> Human: Hey yall, my current roommate lease holder 27f ran off with this months rent and now my other roommates 26f,27m and I 24f are about to be evicted from our home in Brooklyn, NY. Help please.So here is the story:Three weeks ago the roommate lets call her Alexis decided to take a trip to Puerto Rico during spring break vacation. My roommates and I noticed during this time period she was showing symptoms of manic bipolar but were reassured by her friends and family that she was ok and handling her manic moments. My roommates and I believe this lie and continued on with our day. The week of the trip comes and everything seems fine on her end. She was going to work every morning she was a teacher at a successful charter school in NYC and wast showing any signs of instability. She packs up a couple items of clothes in a carry on bag and heads to the airport. We all venmo rent as we did every month to her for this month since she had all the login information for the landlords payment website.A week and half later and we are all wondering where Alexis is. We call her girlfriend and find out she extended her day in Puerto Rico one more day. The next day rolls around still no Alexis. A week later no one has heard from her and we start calling everyone she knows, even her parents. Her parents notify us during the week and they have been keeping track of her debit card spending. We found out she flew to New Orleans right after her stay in PR. The parents attempt to track her down by going to the hostel where she was staying and were notified that she hasnt been at the hostel in days. Parents eventually leave with frustration and say it is our problem to deal with her and what she owes. Fast-forward to this week, we have been in contact with Alexis through email and she telling us to sell all of her electronics and wants to be removed from the lease. She isnt even acknowledging that she stole from us and has run off to Canada yeah shes in fucking Quebec. Even if we sell some of her shit it doesnt even cover the full cost to pay for this months rent. The landlords are giving us the option to either pay for this months rent and apply for a new lease or move out of the house by the 1st. My roommates and I are both grad students and are on a tight budget. We areunable to come up with 2,725 to start a new lease even if we wanted to. We also dont have enough money to move out of this apartment and find another place since moving in NYC is really expensive.Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.  <response>: Between the three of you theres no way to float 700 for a month while filling the room? This is a good example of why an emergency fund is so critical.
