I am wanting to finally leave my abusive boyfriend. Problem is we just signed another one year lease. Also, the only money we have is in an account in my name, which is next to nothing. I have a friend that will give me money to move so thats not the problem. Problem is that he will be left with virtually no money and a rent of 1000 dollars a month plus all utilities. And I do not know how you go about breaking a lease. thanks for the advice

However, what I DO know is that you should NOT care what your ABUSIVE boyfriend will be left with. HE DESERVES NOTHING if he has the audacity to put his hands on another human being. I think you should "grow some balls" so to speak and up and leave. Period. You don't care what he is left with. He beats you. Think of it as payback.
However, I must say I'm glad you are among the small percentage to wise up and get the hell OUT of an abusive relationship. I wish you the best of luck in all of your future endeavors, and PLEASE have no remorse for the pathetic bastard. He beat you. Just remember that.

You can try talking to the property manager about the situation. A lot of places will let you break the lease if you give them notice and the next month's rent in advance. I know a thousand bucks isn't easy to come by... So you may just have to bail. It might hurt your credit score... But it isn't worth risking your safety. Besides... You're credit score can go back up and it shouldn't stop you from finding another apartment. Try to work something out with the manager and get out as fast as you can.
