I don't know what to do because last week we were all talking about finding another place that was bigger because she wanted more space for her things. So we decided to move out even though we were all in a lease agreement. We were still going to break it. Then she changes her mind about moving after the landlord gives us the eviction notice.
So when I asked her to help me pay for the late rent, she made a huge deal about it and we got into a huge fight. Now she wants to move out, but she is on the lease. If she breaks the lease then I get evicted to. Many things are in her name in this apt. and I'm trying to figure out what my options are so that I can keep her here to follow out her lease agreement because I would never have gotten evicted if it wasn't for her saying she needed a bigger place for HER things.
Any advice would be helpful. I've never been in this situation before and don't know what to do about her.

If she's on the lease and you're not and has decided to break the lease, your only real option is to make up any arrearages with the landlord and see if he'll let you stay on yourself for the balance of the lease term.
You can't force her to do anything that she doesn't want to do. But if you're not on the lease, just move and let her deal with the broken lease and costs herself.
If you ARE on the lease, you'll have to pay up or you will be evicted, whether she stays or not.

If I were you I would just talk things out with her. I would make everything seem as if it were my fault rather than hers and try to be truthful and apologize to her, because neither you or her want to go to court. All you have to do is act calm and cool and everything should work out smoothly, I can guarantee it, because no ones perfect and everyone has a rotten day once in a while.
Sorry for what happened, btw, and good luck sorting everything out. I think you can do it just take a deep breath or two before you go up to her.

Well, if she breaks the lease then you can take her to small claims court and sue her for any costs that were acquired from her breaking the lease. It may only take your threatening her with it that would make her reconsider. Just tell her that you don't want to but you can't afford for her to make more costs for you.
Good luck.
