I live in a rented flat with 2 other people. Now we had a 1 year agreement for the flat from July 2024 to July 2025. Now one of my roommate wants to leave in March. The agreement has all our names and every details. Is there any way I can file a case on the person or any legal move I can take. This is second time this is happening last time I ignored but I am so done with this people. This time I want the person to face the consequences.
Please advice if I can do anything or not.

EDIT: thank you everyone for advice. I have decided to withhold his deposit unless he finds a replacement. If he doesnt manage to get a replacement, I have decided to not give back his share of deposit and keeping it as rent from his side till June.

It will be a waste of your time and money ask for a sub lease if possible in place of your roommate. And he is not your friend anymore

IK its waste but I want him to face consequence. same shit happened last time a person decided to leave before agreement ending. I had to shift from 2bhk to 1bhk that time and face extra cost of brokerage and shifting charges. I can bare the cost but this time I want to make sure the person faces consequences.

Not much you can do from a practical standpoint other than getting a replacement.

With-hold the deposit. Tell that he will get once landlord refunds it in July.
