They may also have friends/family willing to help them out.I would also encourage them to find a well qualified replacement roommate for the tenant that is moving out on Nov 24th.

But move into the house with a roommate.

For example I am currently on my second house hack, living in one side of a duplex and have a roommate so I can live for free.

Tiffany and Susan lived downstairs.Both Bob and Tiffany had idiotically-written leases inherited from the former owner that allowed them to have roommates of their own choosing.

If you start to do regular searches for SFR's to rent in Long Beach, Northport, and Babylon, you'll get a sense of what's out there (if you're not already doing this).Long Beach is a big singles area, perhaps renting a house with roommates is better or cheaper than renting in a building. 

My roommate and I are getting annoyed with it and the eviction process is very slow.

One question I do have is that I’m stuck on a 2 year lease with roommates for a house.

There were 3 bedrooms and a tiny enclosed porch so I rented out 3 of the bedrooms for $1400 a month total and lived in the enclosed porch until one of the roommates moved out.

There was an issue with the previous roommate tenants (dispute between themselves...also seemed like trouble in general which I hadn't foreseen during screening) so it was agreed they would move if a qualified tenant was secured. 

That is only applicable for roommates.
