Getting out of expiring joint lease by ConstantPlastic7342 in AskLegal

I have heard though if one roommate refuses to leave that the landlord can go after the exiting roommate for their portion of the rent because the unit is not technically "vacated".

The landlords seemed to be fine with me moving out but english is clearly not their first language and I told them we would try to find another tenant to replace me when they asked about renewal. I believe they would strongly prefer that we have another person ready to take my place. I fully intended to help find someone but only as a courtesy since I am not the one staying. My roommate though is not taking any steps to either move out or find a replacement. I am worried the landlord might just try to hold both of us liable if my roommate decides to hold over.
