if you read your rental agreement then there should be a spot that tells you how to break a rental agreement. if not then ask your landlord because i broke a rental agreement one time and i had to pay a fee of 200 dollars. but if you ask your landlord then he/she will tell you. its not hard

My roomate asaulted me. Can I break the lease if my roommate is violent?
Yes/no. Did you call the police when it happened? Do you have a police report? You will need these things to prove that is why you are moving. The fact that you feel unsafe is a good reason to break the lease, but if taken to court you will need to prove it.

No they can't, only people on the lease can reside. The roommate would have to sign a new lease.
Does the roommate doing the evicting have to do it through the courts if the roommate being evicted is not on the lease but has lived there for five months?
Roommates can't generally "evict" another roommate; that's something a landlord does. If your roommate is not "on the lease" then they have no legal interest in the property. You can just call the police and tell them that the roommate is trespassing and you'd like them removed.
Can you break your lease if they break into your apartment?
If your landlord breaks into your apartment or enters it without notifying you, this is grounds to break a lease. You can't break a lease just because there was a break in, however. Landlords are not even legally required to tell you if you are moving into a high crime area. If you can prove this is an ongoing and pervasive problem , it may be grounds to break your lease. Get real documentation, not just hearsay.Police reports and other victims or witnesses.
If a roommate that signed the lease walks out who is legally responsible for the rent?
Anyone on the lease or that signed the lease is legally responsible for the rent, unless otherwise noted in the lease.

Yes , if having a roommate is in violation of your lease agreement stating that the lease is for a single occupant . You should be able to renegotiate the contract if you are in compliance with all the requirements of the leasing contract .
Can you sue your roommate for half of the rent for the entire duration of the lease?
If they are on it-yes.

Can your roommate sue you if you break your lease for the remainder of the lease If you give them more than 30 days notice and are trying to find a sublet though they are unwilling to allow a sub?
Probably, but they certainly have an obligation to consider the prospective subs you find. More to the point, your roommate has an obligation to try to find a new roommate who suits their criteria. This is often hard in college towns, where people might leave any time in the year, but only arrive looking for housing in September.
