Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia

legal recourse if not on lease

I am not on the lease for my townhouse

but I did sign a document with the

realtor that helped us find the place, if I

leave prior to the expiration of the

lease, will my roommates who are on

the lease have any legal recourse if I

move out and refuse to pay the rent for

the remaining months of the lease?
