Am I required to give 30 day notice to roommate?

Landlord Tenant Housing

Hi, my current living situation has become increasingly unsafe due to an unstable aggressive roommate. We are both on the lease. I have talked with my landlord and he was very understanding, just concerned about my safety. He said I don’t need to pay til the end of the lease. We think the best option is just for me to move out asap. He suggested I send a 30 day notice to my roommate once I am in a safe place… Do I need to? I am afraid my roommate may become violent or destructive once he finds out I am moving out.

I found a new apartment and I am submitting an application. It asks if I have already given notice to my current place. I don’t know… my landlord and I are at an understanding I think, but my roommate does not know yet. My mom said I absolutely do not have to give my roommate notice. What am I required to do here, and what do you suggest? What do I say on the application?
