I have a lease with an exboyfriend who still lives here. I've got numerous police reports against him and he's been arrested for pulling a gun on me but he ran off and hid the gun somewhere so the charges didn't really go anywhere. Anyways I'm trying to break my lease because of this. I wouldn't be able to afford the place on my own. I was finally able to get a restraining order against him recently. Is there a way I can break the lease and just leave him with the place or legally just get out of it.
Also I have a daughter and our landlords are pricks so it would have to be a legal way out not just them being nice and letting me out of it.

You must request your ex-boyfriend to help you in paying the lease in order to have a clear account before leaving it. If both of you signed the contract, let the landlord ask the remaining amount against your ex-boyfriend.

Your lives are more important than your finances. A man who will pull a gun on you has already gone down the road to violence so far that you should have seen this a long time a go. Every time you look at your daughter, ask yourself what you'd do if he ever pulled the gun on her.
(Guess what, honey. It's coming.)
I'm sorry this doesn't answer your question, but how would you like to pay for the remainder of your lease term? With a payment arrangement through a collection agency or with a life that continues down this road?

Hmmm, is this the ex-boyfriend whose child you are aborting? You already have a daughter but won't have another child because you are afraid to get stretch marks. If you are going to use Yahoo Answers to ask how much an abortion costs, at least don't lie. Another question, would this be the same landlord you talk about in your answer to "I have a summons to appear in court....?" where you said "I'm in Indiana and got evicted because my landlord cars mysteriously caught fire after we had a confrontation. Anyways it was 15 days here, the sheriffs delivered it and it had the date and how long we had on it." You need to straighten your life out. Try therapy, religion, or whatever works for you. This kind of life (or whatever part of it is true) is not acceptable for your daughter.

Question, how did you get a judge to grant a restraining order but you live together? This violates the restraining order, call the cops, have him picked up and get a new roomy...

Did both of you sign the lease? Being an ex-boyfriend means you guys are not married.
If he was the one who signed the lease then it is his obligation, unless you have signed as a co-obligator or something to that effect.
