Adding a roommate is considered a modification of your lease. It must be approved by the landlord, or the landlord must allow you to sublet. If neither will happen then yes, this is impossible.

The legality of your roommate allowing a stranger to move into their room depends on the terms of your lease agreement. Generally, tenants are not allowed to sublet or assign their room to someone else without the landlord's consent. Review your lease agreement and discuss this situation with your landlord to understand your rights and options.
