I hear where you are coming from...been there, done that...lost about $2000 and vowed never to get a roommate again (unless I was in a serious relationship). I have to agree with "aintyoboyfriend" and chaulk it down to a life lesson.
It's nice to be a nice person and you still can be nice to people in the future but with some discretion. You might lose a friendship over this but then a "friend" isn't supposed to stiff you for almost $900. I don't know about your work relationship but this might go sour too, so keep an eye open for a new restaurant or bar to work in.
If you are in a good relationship with your mate, you might as well take over the lease because I know how much of a pain it is to move, especially after only a few months.
Sorry about your situation...but in the long run you will become better for it.
Good luck.
