You can't move out without incurring potential liability. This could be a real problem for you. I suggest you find an alternate room mate to take your place and see if first the landlord, and also your room mates will go along with that plan. Remember, if you aren't off the lease you are liable.

Yes. you can move out!! DON'T!!
As, Mr. Moerbeek points out, there are other less damaging ways to behave here.
