<prompt> Human: So saving all the details of the breakup, my ex-girlfriend and I were in a lease together and after the breakup I moved away and she went back to live with her mother. We were both each paying our half of the rent until we could find someone who we could release the apartment to.She recently revealed to me that she is no longer going to pay the rent and doesnt care about the damage that it will do to her credit. I would just pay the rest myself if I could but I do not have the funds to pay for all of it myself. Her mom cosigned for it but I am not sure if that matters. I do not want to just get evicted and take large damage to my credit but I just cant pay for it myself. Is there anything I can do to avoid destroying my credit?  <response>: As others said, talk to the landlordleasing agent. Often its a month or two penalty to break a lease, and they may offer payment plans if you ask. You should also talk to the cosigned parent, itll affect them too.
