I was living in an apartment I wanted to move but I had like 8 months. One of my friends wanted a place so I told him if he could take over my lease. Now my apartment doesnt let people take over your lease so I just moved out and he moved in, he and his roomate pay me money every month and I pay rent. Okay things were fine for 6 months until last month he quit his job he acted like rent would be paid anyway and said not to worry. His roomate gave my so-called friend his share and he gave it to me and said hed give me the rest when rent had to be paid. Now it 3 days late and this guy has not paid me, I went over to the apartment cause his phones shut off and said hey man can you pay me and he gave me like one third of what he owes me and got real billigerent and told me to "Quit crying," I just had pectoral surgery a month ago otherwise I would beat his ace and throw him out. He claims hell pay me tommorow but I can tell I will have further problems in the future, what should I do

The problem is I cant financially pay the rent myself I think if I could talk to his friend he would stay cause there not real good friends his roomate is a 45 year old man that works like 60 hours a week and is never there but he always pays on time, if I kick my ex-friend out there is no problem cause theres no lease

My dear, I think you are screwed. NEVER EVER get involved with friends. They rarely stay friends.

Just move the deadbeat friends stuff out if he does not pay to marrow. You may have to move back in yourself, until the lease runs out. Possibly the other guy can take over the place when your lease is up. No matter what, the lease is yours and you are going to have to find a way to make that payment each month, that is why you should think carefully before signing contracts. The landlord can sue you for the remainder of the lease, and for any damage that may have been done to the property.

Technically you can be sued by the landlord. However, they might be sympathetic if you give them what you can now.
Explain to your buddy that you understand holidays stretch everybody tight, but you need the cash to keep him housed. Tell him you trust in him to do what is right and pay the rent on time. You might have to be harsh to your friend, but it is for his own benefit.
Unfortunately, you don't have much longer on the lease. Your buddy might think "What the hell, it is not my credit that will get screwed up." So you got to get on him now and start on him weeks in advance for the next month's rent too.

I certainly have heard this tale formerly, months in the past. in simple terms, in that tale you left Anita at the back of and did not understand the place she replaced into, and questioning whether you will desire to bypass searching for her... If this is authentic, you the two would desire to improve up. you're the two as lots to blame.
