Landlady asking me to cover rent for two rooms - a little worried about it
Hi All, I hope I'm using this forum correctly. I've been renting a room in a two bedroom flat, in London, since March, last year. I moved in after finding the property on Spare Room and joined another tenant, who had been living here for three years. We both signed a new Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement 'for the duration of 6 months (but continuing by virtue of statute until notice is given)'. 
Sadly, my flatmate moved out, last November, after giving her one month's notice period, in October. I advertised the room, and found some interest but not very much at all. After continuing to advertise, since then, the room is still vacant and, as you can imagine, I'm worried, as I've advertised the property everywhere but with no luck. Until now, the landlady hasn't been involved in advertising the place and she has not been charging me for the extra room, either.
Last Thursday (04.02.21), however, the landlady told me that I will have until 25th February to find a new flatmate or I will be responsible for paying the entire £1500 rent for the property. She did not express that she would help to find said flatmate, until I quickly emailed back to ask for some additional help. Another worry (and slight confusion) is whether my previous flatmate and I have rented the whole house, together, or if we have rented separate rooms; I can't quite pinpoint where that information is in my tenancy agreement! I am not using the other 'spare' room and cannot afford to pay for the entire flat. Do you know if I have any options other than to give my notice and move out (which I really don't want to do)?
Thanks for your help,
James
