<prompt> Human: I am a young female and am a co-tenant with my fiance on a 2-year lease. There are 4 months left on the lease. I have been with my fiance for 5 years, living together for 4 of them. He pays the rent while I pay for the utilities and all other household expenses. I need to leave ASAP, as I am breaking the engagement. He has cheated on me with dozens of men and women, given me an STD, and manipulated me for years. I never knew about his double life until very recently, and now Im very scared for my safety. This man has a serious temper, and I have no idea what he might do if I try to break up with him. He also has several loaded guns in the apartment.I want to move out without warning him, while hes away at work. I know that as a co-tenant, I should notify the landlord that I intend to move out. However, the landlord will most definitely go to him to discuss, and I do NOT want him warned that Ive learned the truth and intend to leave him - which is why Id like to leave quietly and without a potentially dangerous confrontation. Here is what can happen:- I move out, the landlord never finds out that one of the 2 people in the apartment has left. My now-ex-fiance continues to pay rent until the lease is up, and then also leaves quietly. This is the ideal scenario!- I move out, landlord finds out and comes after me for breaking the lease contract. I read the lease and it sounds like they can charge a fee one months rent for costs related to finding a new tenant. However, if fiance stays and continues to pay- this wouldnt apply?- I move out, fiance refuses to pay rent. Landlord comes after me for half the rent? Or the entire amount? Also, both my parents and his parents are guarantors on the lease for the two of us.Any adviceopinions regarding my plan? Im in a really tough spot and could really use some help. :  <response>: Contact A landlord cannot require you stay in an abusive relationship but there are procedures to follow to make sure you can get out of this without a headache.
