Can I get out of a lease with someone who assualted me?

Question

I was assaulted by my girlfriend which has resulted in a severely sprained neck and severed tendons in my hand which will need surgery to fix.

We are in a lease together for a business that we were starting up. I no longer want to be in this business with her but both of our names are on the lease. What are my chances of being released from my obligations of this lease with her?

Answer 1

Probably zero.  You signed the lease.  The landlord will look to you for the rent.  

Answer 2

you can prabably get her to agree on letting you off the lease or go to the person that you got the lease from and see if you can get taken off or go to court and have a judge remove you from the lease or maybe a pre paid leagal service that you can join online or go to a office that provides the services without a lawyer  i think they are called prelagal services
