My roomate is a real estate agent so he was taking care of all of this....Then last week he tells me he is giving the landlord a 45 day notice any day now, and we will have to move out December 1st.

Like 99.9% of tenant/landlord problems this one boils down to the old "I let other people dictate the terms and conditions of my living arrangement and then - this is the totally unforeseeable part - I got screwed! Can you believe it?!?! So who has ideas?"

Are you stupid or trolling? I mean, was he supposed to handcuff himself to his roommate and walk with him to the landlord's office so that he could be certain his roommate turned in the lease?
