<prompt> Human: Ill try to keep this brief, I am just really desperate. I am on the lease for a three bedroom apartment as the head of household with two friends that were attending college with me. We are all three on the lease for 6 more months. Recently one of my roommate just took off without paying rent and now Im stuck at the end of the month not able to cover it on my own. What should I do?  <response>: there is little you can do immediately...you can probably take him to small claims court...better talk to your landlord and find way to cover the shortfall. If the rent not payed in full, you can be evicted and also take a hit on your credit as well as the other 2 leasees
