I am a student at the University of Wisconsin and have a lease with 3 other students that doesn't expire until August 14, 2008. Two other roommates and myself get along, but the 3rd has been very difficult to live with. We talked to the University and showed them some of the emails he has wrote us (there is no longer a lot of face to face communication with this individual). They suggested he may have a psychological disorder.

So my question is, do we have any options to remove him from the lease or get out of the lease ourselves without a great financial burden? We offered to pay his portion of the rent if he would like to move out, but he refused. We have looked at other apartments but can't afford paying for two places. Can anyone provide us with some advice to get ourselves out of this situation?
