All of my roommates are running off mid lease and are leaving me with a $2400/month house that I couldn't even afford in my dreams (UPDATE, NEW IMPORTANT INFO)

Link to original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvicecanada/s/rZZaWBB0qC

Sorry for making a whole new post but there's some new info that I would like to put out there so that any advice I received is properly tailored

2 new pieces of info I wanna put out there

  1. I have come to learn, the 2 people who originally had the LL's permission I thought, are NOT off the hook. It turns out, they were only off the hook if we found new roommates to take their place. The original plan was for them to be replaced by 2 other people, but the landlord stipulated that a new contract will be required for that. Since no new contract is being written, our original one is still active and valid, there is NO LL consent for them to leave anymore like I thought

So the situation has changed to, my roommates are simply all abandoning me mid lease. No consent from the landlord. They are just running off and abandoning the lease plain and simple

  1. The lease explicitly stipulates that the LL can collect rent from any or all tenants, there is no division of responsibility, it is all equal

So....now what?

All of my roommates are running off mid lease and leaving me with a $2400/month house that I couldn't even afford in my dreams. Wtf do I do now?

Title says it all really. Me and 3 other people are renting a house for $2400/month, and all 3 of them have recently decided to just run off mid lease and just leave me with the place. 2 of them have gotten the landlords permission to leave and I think the 3rd one just doesn't care and is gonna go ghost, and yes I am a leaseholder here, no subletting

But none of that really matters, what matters is I'm now gonna be stuck with a house in which the monthly rent alone is more than I even take home, let alone everything else

Wtf am I supposed to do now? I kinda quite literally have zero choice but to force the LL to just go through an eviction while I save as much money as I can and just try to figure something out. This was outside of my control and was incredibly unexpected and I was blindsided with less than 2 weeks of warning

Not necessarily in some metaphysical way in which you're literally putting your fate into the hands of the unseen forces of the universe. Putting in real effort for the things you want is mandatory, but in a moreso kinda stoic(?) way. You cannot force somebody to love you, you cannot force somebody to have a crush on you, you cannot force somebody to want you, you cannot force somebody to want to be your friend, you cannot force a job recruiter to wanna hire you, and so on

You can try all you want to force something that just isn't there, but in the end, if it doesn't work out, it never would have anyways, and if it's meant to be yours, then it will be yours

If you show up on time, if you work hard, if you develop useful skills, if you show up for people, if you be present for people, if you show people the real you, and not a mask, everything that is meant to be yours, will be yours, and everything that is not meant for you, will avoid you

What are your thoughts on this?

Well, things aren't looking good. We found 2 friends to move in so we can keep living here and keep paying the rent and stuff, so friends mom emailed the property manager 3 times over asking them to do a lease reassignment on their end, with the 2 other friends we found to move in, and only after the third email, did she finally receive a response that essentially said "Thanks for messaging me 3 times in a row, I'll get back to you when I can" it was a snarky response. We've been here for 2 years and their typical response time is same day, so they were ignoring it

They went out of their way to NOT say they'll talk to the landlord, or that they're busy and just need some time to write up a new contract, and that would have taken less effort than their whiny response

So, yeah. Not looking too good. If I had to take a shot in the dark, my guess would be that they're currently writing up a legally sound refusal letter

So, now what? Just let em evict us? Since he wants to play stupid games, just live here for free for the next 2 years while he navigates the courts since he wants to be like that?

I know older generations don't care too too much cuz everybody was fucking everybody in the 60's through 80's so caring wasn't really an option, but trust me, Gen Z cares. A lot. I've seen women with body counts around 20 get called gross whores

Me? I love em. I don't necessarily go out of my way to target them, but between me and you guys, I kinda honestly prefer it over inexperienced women

They're just more fun. I've messed around with inexperienced women and it's bleak and boring

Every single character sucks a lot, but has at least 1 semi decent quality. Even Tuco went out of his way to take care of his disabled uncle

No real DEA agent would turn a blind eye to Walt in terms of that whole school inventory discrepancy

BB is a great show but they really dropped the ball on Hanks ignorance, they had to make him a complete moron for it to work

We're in the talks of finding 2 or 3 friends to move in and take their place, but as far as I understand, the landlord can legally say nope and shut that down and essentially force us to force him to go through eviction if he chooses that
