I currently rent a room in a 4 bed/2 bath house, 5 roommates currently I started this out on a sub-lease. With an upcoming lease renewal I'm seeing nonstop problems and issues and I'm completely lost on what I can/should do.

In January our landlord contacted us on renewing our lease for the year, me(21F) and another housemate (25M) resigned while the other two housemates decided to leave. We found new roommates relatively quickly, They've been great but aren't signed onto the lease yet due to an upcoming issue I will mention.

25M lost his job in March, hasn't been paying rent since, makes 250 a week or month on unemployment with our rent being 500/M each, I feel like I've been generally trapped with this looming in the horizon since I moved in.

I've been paying all my bills on time, I've been covering stuff like electric and gas to my own expense since we're in what I've been calling a transitioning period, I don't see a positive outcome at this point.

I'm a first time renter and am probably being fucked over in something that Isn't my fault. I don't have anyone to really help me if things go how they seem. I've been trying to do my research on what I can do, but I've barely been making enough to feed myself, let alone afford a lawyer to try to argue the eviction, if that's even possible.

Any advice would be appreciated, Thank you for taking your time reading this.
