<prompt> Human: Hi everyone, please be honest about who is really at fault in this situation. So I am a university student and lived with 3 other roommates for this 2015-2016 school year September to April. In December, we had to decide if we were going to sign the lease again for the following school year May 2016-April 2017. Two roommates were sure that they would be around and wanted to resign the lease for next year. I was unsure as to what I would be doing in 4th year and awaiting results from places I applied, and the 4th roommate had a job lined up after school so he said he wouldnt be resigning. I said that I would probably resign but insisted that I didnt know for sure because I needed more time to figure it out. With this knowledge from the 4th roommate and I, these 2 roommates resigned the lease for the following year because they knew theyd be attending the same school, etc. February rolls around and I have decided that I wont be staying in this apartment next year, so I tell the 2 roommates that I wont be resigning. Note: when these 2 roommates signed in December, they are now in charge of the apartment and filling it with 2 other tenants. They tell me that its no problem and that they know of friends they can ask to take both places.March 15th rolls around and these 2 roommates havent been able to fill the apartment with 2 new tenants. They had only lookedasked around with their friends and no one ended up signing up with them. They also did not ever attempt to reach out on a Roommate Finder app, Facebook, or any other tool that the landlord provided them with to ensure that they would be able to fill these last 2 spots in time. The new lease starts in May 2016 old one ends April 30th 2016, so when I told them on February 10th, 2016 exact date that I would not be resigning, they had over 2.5 months to find new tenants. If they have not found 2 new roommates to sign the lease by April 30th, 2016, the 2 that are signed will have to cover the cost of the whole unit 2x normal rent for each of them. Now, it is March 27th and they have been arguing with the landlord the past 2 weeks about trying to get out of the lease for 16-17 school year. They are also blaming me, saying that I didnt give them enough time Feb 10th to find 2 new roommates in time. In addition to that, they have said that they hate the landlord now and want to move out as soon as possible regardless if they found 2 new roommates who could move in today. Through a legal disputing firm, they have found a way to get out of the lease, but it entails paying 1 months rent as a unit, so 2300, or 575 per person. They are pressuring me and trying to blame me for this problem and insist that I have to bail them out and pay 575 because this is my fault I didnt let them know early enough. They have let the 4th roommate off the hook, because he has told them all along he wouldnt be staying. Am I at fault? They seem to think so. I really dont see any reason why I am responsible for what has happened. Please be honest with responses.  <response>: Nope, you gave them plenty of time. They chose to resign the lease, they are responsible for said lease. Your lease will expire, and with it any responsibility that you may have had. Dont pay for a dime of their costs.
