What are my rights when my roommate breaks lease?

My roommate has said that he is thinking of breaking

our lease. What rights to i have? i know that he is

legally obligated through the end of our lease, but

are there any other rights? What if he stiffs us and

we have to move suddenly? i have no clue about any

rights my wife and i have, so any information would be

appreciated. Thanks a lot!

if any of you breaks the lease the landlord can go after whoever he wants (ie you) and you will have to sue the roomate yourself.
