Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

We signed a lease together, will I be able to sue him for his share?

My now ex and I moved in together in July. We signed the lease together. He moved out in January. He has refused to pay his half of the rent which does not end until July. The problem is, at the insistance of my landlord, I signed an updated lease which has EXACTLY the same terms, but only has my name on it. WIll I still be able to sue my ex for his share?

Thank you.

Yes, you can still sue him. The original lease is like a contract between you and your ex, as well as with the landlord.
