He would be responsible if you both move out, but I think it will fall on you if you stay there.

Yes he can just move, that does not relieve him from the obligation of his "half" of the rent/utilities. I say his "half" because you both are joint and severally liable for the whole amount meaning that both you and he are responsible for all of it. If he does not want to pay his "half" for the balance of the lease you can take him to court to get a monetary award. My advise to you is that you are getting off cheap, even if this is going to cost $6k, ($1k/month * 6) imaging the cost if you were married and bought the house then the relationship blew up.
