The good news is you won't be homeless one way or another, at least not for a long time. Eviction takes a decent amount of time, even with people who are completely delinquent. You should be talking to your landlord about the situation, first and foremost. Almost guaranteed: Your roommates are responsible for finding subletters, not you, especially if they are also on the lease. You need to talk to your landlord to make it clear you are paying your share for the future but your roommates are bailing out without replacement to see how they respond. If they are not sympathetic, you may have to sue your roommates, but either way I would not pay the share of the rent for your roommates until speaking to a lawyer with a housing specialization about this first. Chances are you can't anyways, so it's a mute point. Once again, eviction is a long process so you will not be out on the street in any short order one way or the other and if you have records that you are paying your share consistently you'll have plenty of ammunition to protect your housing status.
