Today, I found out my roomie has lost her only source of income. This means I'm responsible for all the bills and the rent. I would kick her out and get someone else, but she's my mother. FML

You ALWAYS obtain copies of the bill prior to paying. Sucks but a hard lesson learned. I'd attempt to recoup those costs, did you pay by check/etc where you have a receipt?

Deduct the amount from the next rent or two. And start looking for a new place.
