When you are trying to identify the verb in a sentence, you are looking for the action. Who did what? In this sentence, the subject is "one of Rodrigo's roommates." What did he do? He "may have forgotten" something. The phrase "to pay the rent" identifies what he "may have forgotten" to do. Thus, the verb phrase in this sentence is "may have forgotten."
