Legal Question in Consumer Law in Pennsylvania

roommate issue, roommates broke rental lease

A friend of mine was living with 2 other roommates. All 3 persons were on the lease. This lease was to expire January 31, 2003. 2 of the roommates have moved out without more than a day's notice. They are no where to be found . Can my friend sue the ex-roommates for breach of contract since they vacated before the end of the lease? What type of attorney should he seek to represent him?

If all three subjects signed the lease then all three are probably ( depending on the language of the lease ) joint and severably liable. The friend will probably succeed in bringing an action against the other two.
