<prompt> Human: Oops, missing info, ninja edit: This payment is for their last month in rent.So my friend did not have a great relationship with their ex-roommates. The ex-roommates turned out to be emotionally abusive. I dont see direct communication being an option.The old landlords should have enough information about their tenants to not need to ask just one ex-tenant to pay the entire rent. It doesnt make much sense. Surely they have telephone numbers and names to use to contact them? Theres got to be a way to make this right. What should my friend do?  <response>: Most likely the lease makes your friend entirely responsible for the last months rent and the landlord doesnt have any obligation to go chasing after the others. If your friend had a written agreement with the roommates she might be able to squeeze it out of them in court I suppose.
