Ah, I wonder if that'd work :>. Thank you!!! I'll drive down and talk with them soon!
What was the term of the original lease? You can’t be held liable indefinitely if your roommate does not want to move out. If the lease is a year, then you should be off the hook at least as of December 2019 assuming a normal lease.
OP can be held responsible indefinitely. Giving notice of vacating means that the landlord gets the apartment back and the apartment has never been vacated. The landlord has not received possession back. OP needs to get the deadbeat out of the apartment.
OP stop worrying about homelessness if the deadbeat brings it upon himself. It's not your responsibility to provide a place for him to live, not is it your responsibility to carry him through life when he won't take care of himself.
The reason against letting them get evicted, homelessness aside, would be that the eviction would also be on my record :<. We're jointly and severably liable, and most landlords aren't kind enough to listen to explanation. I'm really kind of left twiddling my thumbs until he gets a clue that the place is too expensive for him and scoots, I'm just hoping that's before June- because with an eviction on my record, I'll have no place to stay.

The original lease was never terminated because the third guy was written onto the original lease to functionally take my place as her roommate, and because he never vacated/either wanted or needed to stay, the original lease has become a month-to-month rollover.
I requested they write him a new lease, but they didn't. It's a crafty move by the landpeople, really. Why would they write a new lease for one person, even if I requested, when they could keep three on the hook?

Did the landlord agree to writing the new lease? If so, do you have proof?
Is the man paying the full rent at this point? Would he agree to a new lease? Maybe try to pressure him into entering into a new arrangement with the landlord.

I think you need legal advice at this point, because you should either be off the lease if he replaced you, or at the very least, you should be able to give notice yourself now. They can't force you to remain responsible for a place you no longer live and no longer want to live.
