If you sign a lease with another person and they move out. Who is responsible for their half of the rent? If I pay my half of the rent will the apartment complex come after me for breaking the lease?

Most residential leases are "joint and several" so that if you and your roommate sign the lease, and then if one of you vacates the apartment, the remaining roommate is responsible for the entire monthly lease payment. You can try to sue the roommate, but the landlord is expecting a certain amount of rent from that apartment.
