It's not a matter of what is right. The rent is $800 per month whether there are two people renting or not. They agreed with you on the set price what they decided to do between them has nothing to do with you and what the rent they agreed to pay for the place. |

Rent is the same no matter who is staying there. It's $800, and that's it.
So he can pay the whole $800, get a new roommate and quick for the other $400, or out he goes. |

The only viable choices in this matter are:
1 or 3
Another option you have is to get a new roommate |

Two people deciding to rent a house together and share the cost has nothing to do with what's owed to the landlord which is $800 a month. Unless your lease states otherwise, only answers 1 and 3 apply. |

Either pay the $800 or move out. Is the other person's name on the lease? They may owe the $400 a month, but it will be a lengthy battle. |

Number 3 if they can't afford to pay the $800.00. |

Number 2 is not an option. The rent is $800 per month, not $400.
Number 3 is not an option as it suggests a choice. If the tenant cannot afford the rent he has to move or be evicted. Therefore this is not an option, it is a consequence.
The right thing would be for the tenant who is moving out to pay his share of the rent up to and including the last month he is there and request his name be removed from the tenancy agreement.
The right thing (not to mention legally binding obligation) for the existing tenant would be to continue paying the rent ($800) for the duration of his tenancy. |

The remaining person has to find a way to make up the difference, or else he will need to find a more affordable place to live. Perhaps he could advertise for a new roommate. |

Did the person who decided to move out sign a lease?If so then they are responsible for the 400.00 dollars.If they agree to break the lease and pay the landlord a fee to do so ,maybe something can be worked out with the landlord and some money could be deducted from the $800a month reflecting the amount to break the lease until the lease expires This would help defray costs for the remaining tenent. In any case hope things work out . |

Pay the $800 or move out if he cannot afford it.
I would not rent to anyone under these circumstances because a roommate situation hardly ever works out to any ones benefit.
In San Francisco landlords are having a nightmare situation with people subleting to anyone who wants to live in their garage.
So when the people move the ones living in the garage claims they don't have to move because they've already established residency with that property so the landlords have a home they need to rent but can't because of the people living in the garage that by law have a right to be there.
I don't think you could force someone to pay $800 just because someone else moved out if they've only agreed to pay $400.
It would be best to rent to either a single person or a couple with kids. |

I agree with lea lange. I would look for a new roommate. Best wishes for you. |

There are a lot of special circumstances with renting...like if it's a relative who based the amount of rent you owe on how much you could pay and how many people were living in the house.
But normally it's like any other sort of business relationship, with a set price you owe. |
