I can see it on a strategic level. With Claire moving to the main cast and the relationship with Marten, they need a permanent foil for them. Moving Clinton into the secondary cast and giving him a known location could be part of setting him up for that role.

--- Quote from: lot_jockey on 13 Oct 2014, 20:03 ---Shouldn't Angus be responsible for finding the new roommate (not Marigold)? Obviously, it's important that Marigold like this new roommate. Regardless, Angus should be paying rent until he finds someone to take over the lease, or the lease terminates.

It's fair to expect Angus to give one month's notice, at least in rent. Apart from that, I don't see how there is any further obligation on him; legal, moral, or otherwise.

I honestly don't know how it works in other parts of the country or the world, even, but when I was in college in Pennsylvania, if someone on the lease was breaking the lease, that person was responsible for vetting a new roommate as far as ability to pay and pass a credit check, otherwise that person forfeit their deposit and racked up additional fees. This was also in a college town, as well. Who knows. It may be very simple for Marigold to find a replacement.
I had wondered about Padma's Faye-like friend moving in, then I remembered that she is Angus's ex and Marigold presumably was one of the "housemates" who sang "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead" when they broke up. Too bad. Could have been interesting.
Maybe Steve's ex, the marine biologist-to-be comes back and moves in?
Capon:
In British Columbia, leases are either are termed (usually for a year), or are month-to-month.
During a term lease, if the lease holder breaks the agreement, the holder is responsible for looking for a new tenant or paying the rest of the agreement term.
Once a term-lease is expired, it automatically goes into a month-to-month. The only thing then for the lease holder is responsible for is giving 30 days notice to the landlord. If there is a second tenant on the month-to-month lease, it's the remaining tenant's responsibility to find a new tenant, not the first tenant.

I admit that I had assumed that he's not breaking the lease, or is not on the lease; otherwise, I daresay he would indeed be up for more than a month's rent, and I assume he's done his homework in this regard.
In NSW, if you break the lease early, you have to pay rent until a new tenant is found. Never heard of responsibility to find a new tenant yourself, but maybe some places do require that.
Warning - blah blah blah
