<prompt> Human: Im on mobile so Im going to try my best to explain everything as best I can as I dont have a computer to type this out on at the moment. A little backstory: me along with 2 others which I considered to be my best friends decided to move out of our parents houses and get an apartment together. We all decided that we were going to sign on a 12-month lease because the rent is cheaper and the rent along with other bills was do-able if we split everything 3 ways. Well first month was fine, everybody paid their share of the bills. Second month, roommates who I will call Tyler and Carlie didnt have enough money to pay their share. So I offered to make up for the amount that they were missing which wasnt much, about 200 dollars and we got all the bills taken care of. Then comes month 3. Tyler and Carlie both lost their jobs because the restaurant they were at shut down. I got me a new job because the other one I was at was cutting hours so I went somewhere that pays great and I get plenty of hours, luckily. Tyler and Carlie couldnt make rent at all because of their situation so I had to cover the entire thing about 1000 dollars. well we are in month 4 and Carlies dad offered to pay her and Tylers share of the rent and bills this month so they can leave. Well they just took their name off the lease. So I have 8 months and luckily I am making a sufficient amount of income to take this on. I am going to be transferring to a 1 bedroom starting tomorrow which is going to be about 680 a month. I make roughly 2000-2500 a month. Along with other bills, I have about 100-150 in power, 174 in car note, 78 in signature loan, 200 in insurance, 100 in cable, and 100 I pay a month in credit cards. How can I manage my expenses correctly? What can I do to be able to make it through the rest of these months?  <response>: Tyler and Carlie couldnt make rent at all because of their situation so I had to cover the entire thing about 1000 dollars. well we are in month 4 and Carlies dad offered to pay her and Tylers share of the rent and bills this month so they can leave.

If thats not the case, can you also go and take your name off the lease? In my experience, this is a thing that only happens if all tenants want to break the lease together, are current on rent, and pay a cancellation fee, if applicable. I assume Tyler and Charlie are still on the lease and are still responsible for their portion. If that is the case, establish a record of how much they owe you, and get it back from them or their parents. First try asking nicely, if that fails go to small claims court.How is your friendship with them after this whole situation? So I have 8 months and luckily I am making a sufficient amount of income to take this on. I am going to be transferring to a 1 bedroom starting tomorrowWhat?What happened? Are you still in the old, 3 person apartment, and legally required to pay? Are Charlie and Tyler still legal tenants and required to pay? Did you already sign a lease for a new smaller place, and are you now paying 1,000 680 1,680 per month for rent at two places? Im not following the fact pattern.
