My finace is currently living in an apartment that he shares with a roommate. They've been living together since college and, for the most part, everything had been going fine.
The lease on this apartment ends in April. My fiance and I will be moving in together and married shortly after. His rommate is moving in with his current girlfriend. On sunday my finace confronted his roommate about the fact that the girlfriend is always in the apartment. The sticking point is that she's there when her boyfriend is not. My fiance is back to working from home and stated that he didn't want her there anymore when she is alone. That when she gets off of work she needs to find somewhere else to be for the two hours until her boyfriend gets home from his own job.
A long discussion insued, in which it was stated that she could not afford gas and she needed to come to the apartment...blah..blah...blah. She had been unemployed for over a month and was pretty much living there, rarely going home. My finace put his foot down and made the "no" stick.
Yesterday the roommate stated that he is moving out early. My fiance cannot afford a two bedroom apartment by himself, especially since we are planning a wedding. In the end it would cost us and extra 2600 dollars. I told my finace that if his roommate wanted to leave he needed to give us checks that we would cash later to pay the rent or one large check that would cover everything. My fear is that he will leave us high and dry. He has a problem paying bills and has had a collection agency after him several times this year.
I am so afraid that this is going to cause a huge problem. My finace keeps telling me that everything will be fine and that he'll give us the money. All I keep thinking about is every episode of Judge Judy I've ever seen. What can be done if he stiffs us? I've had a knot in my stomach all day about this. I can't believe this is happening. All because this girl didn't get what she wanted and had a tantrum.
You guys are always good with Pixie dust and good advice.....please help.
