Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Expired Lease Roommate Refusing to Move Out - Please Help!

Hello Everyone.

I am living in CA (SoCal) with a terrible roommate. Thank god my lease will expire in AUG 2008. Both of us are on the original lease.

I am planning to MOVE OUT! I never want to see my roommate again. But then my Land Lord tells me that I CAN NOT move out ''fully'' with no rental obligations if my roommate does not move out with me.

I just want to move out when my lease is up (AUG). I thought I DO NOT need to worry about my roommate and his activities. I was thinking my side of the obligations are over.

Is this true!? am I forced to be stuck with my roommate unless he agrees to move out with me or signs a new lease with just his name on it? so I can live free??

Please Help.
