If the parties signed names which are not theirs to a legal document - in this case a lease, which is a contract - they have committed an illegal, criminal act.
I don't know what "cut off the lease" means.
Do they want to get out of the lease? The landlord has the right to sue them for the entire cost of the entire lease - when I say "them" I mean the people who did sign.
And, again, landlord could go to the Police with this. It is identity theft, an attempt to avoid rent and several other things, depending on the State.
