Roommate Breaking a Lease

[sincyr]

I rent a 4 bedroom home with 3 other roommates. The lease binds us through 12/31/09.

Recently 1 of my roommates informed us that he is leaving. he intends to pay rent for June, but no more after that.

Do my roommates and I have grounds to take him to Small Claims for his share of the rent?

Yes but you also need to make honest effort to find new roomate
