I've seen variations of this scenario on Judge Judy. Basically, I believe that she does still have to pay rent to honor the contract she signed with the lessor (property owner). It's not the fault of the property that she unfortunately chose a horrible room mate. She will likely have to take the room mate to court (small claims may be sufficient) and prove that the room mate has basically forced her out (for all intents and purposes) due to the parties and permanent guest (boyfriend) sleeping over. Then the court can issue an order for the room mate to take over the lease and you can take that to the property owner to get taken off of the lease. You can also recover from the room mate whatever rents have been paid thus far.
