<prompt> Human: Hello!tl;dr: I am moving out of an apartment I share with my best friend and another roommate. How many months of rent do I offer to pay before they find someone new? Do I need to find someone new?My best friend and I decided to move into a city together almost 18 months ago. The apartment took forever for us to move into, as the building lied about when it would be ready. We finally moved in in December 2016. It is a 3 bedroom low income unit which we qualified for at the time, so the rent is low. I had to kick out one roommate, and we are now on our second. Our new roommate pays rent late every month since she moved in in July which I did not know until December since I wasnt like checking in on her since she is 31 years old. Last month December, she was so late that the building sent us a notice they were suing us and if she didnt pay in 30 days, we would be evicted. For January, she texted us the day rent was due to let us know she was going to be late for January. I did not want to get SUED again as Im sure my credit is fucked now, so I fronted the money until she could pay me back January 19th. The next day Jan 6th, she asked me if she should order a pizza. I flipped out and said, YOU HAVE MONEY TO ORDER PIZZA??? she ended up not ordering the pizza. Then, the next weekend Jan 12-15 she snuck away to visit friends in another state. Again, you have money to go away but not pay rent??? She paid me back as she said she would on the 19th.I got a new job yayy and will be starting next week. The new job is an amazing step and a lot more money. However, it is 40 minutes from my apartment in the mornings and at least 1 hour back at night. It is 20 minutes from my parents house and 12 minutes from my boyfriends house. I want to move home have amazing parents to save money and have an easier commute. When my boyfriends lease is up March 2019, I will approach him about us buying a place together. When I move out, I am not sure how they will find someone new to continue the low income rate. I also do not know if the building will sign a new lease with them since my other roommate has been late every month.My dilemma is that I need to tell my best friend I want to move out and also ensure they can continue to live in the apartment without me As I mentioned, it is a low income unit and dont want my best friend to be screwed finding someone else. How many months of rent do I offer to pay? Should I tell the building and ask how they can continue to live there? What do I do here to not fuck up my relationship with my best friend of 9 years?  <response>: 0.0. Tell friend situation, give reasonable notice 30-60 days. Dont pay once youre gone.
