More details to this question:
Boyfriend and girlfriend broke up and the boyfriend moved out and refuses to pay his share of rent. The remaining two tenants think that I have to get his share of the rent and I told them they would still have to pay the full rent regardless. am I right?

This would depend on the terms of the rental agreement or lease, on the number of rooms, the location of the residence, and the type of setting (rent or house). You should consult with qualified counsel.
