That's up to him and the landlord. Personally, as a landlord, I would never force someone to live in my house if he doesn't want to. I would ask one or all of you to take up the lease. If none of you are willing to, then I'll ask him to return my house just as how he found it, empty and tenant-free.u00a0Other landlords may approach it differently. Give him a hard time and fine him and force him the responsibility of sublease, but at the end of the day, I don't see why we should make each other miserable. There is no good purpose for it.
