Yes, at least in any state I know of. I don't see how he broke the lease, except that under the rule of "Joint and Several Liability" he owes the whole rent amount each month through the end of the lease - as do you. That means that the LL can go after either party for the entire rent, or evect everybody, even if one person has paid their portion. There's really no such thing as 'my half of the rent.' This rule varies by state, but, in any case, if he paid, he has a right of access.

No. You are still under a contractual agreement to fulfill the terms of your lease, no matter who the manager may be. The lease is usually an agreement contract between yourself and the management company who owns the apartment complex, not between yourself and the individual manager.
No. But, you will still be responsible for your share of the previous lease unless the landlord/rental agency (not the the other leasees) agree to release you from your obligation.
All cosigning means is you are responsible for any rent that person refuses to pay, or any damage so there is no reason you can't sign a lease for a place of your own. Marcy
Finding a good tennet depends on the rental market. You do understand that even if you can sub lease (generally not allowed in most leases), your still responsible for the rent on your lease...your just now a landlord and have to collect what your due from YOUR tennent?
In most states you would still have to go thru eviction proceedures if the tenent has a lease.
Well, if you expect to get her back, then Yes! However, if she broke up with you, you are not on the lease and are not living in the apartment, house or whatever, then morally, No. Then again, in some states you don't have to be on the lease if you made a verbal agreement/contract to pay for half of the rent for any amount of time that you were living there. In that case then yes you are responsible for half of the rent for whatever month you moved out, even if you were only there for a couple of days in that month.
The natural demise of the lease is grounds for eviction. The process varies by state.
My roommate and I were looking for an out on our lease, and had a similar question. We were able to get a great deal of information at www.apartmentleasebreakers.com. Check it out.

The rental company will require you and the person who is paying your rent to sign the lease. You both will be responsible for the apartment for the duration of the lease.
The best option is to talk to the Apartment Management and try to keep penalties at a minimum. Another good option is to Sublease the apartment to another party, but you still may have to pay a small portion of the rent.
You can get out of a lease but there is always a penalty. Usually you have to pay aat least a months rent plus an additional charge. Some properties can charge you for the rest of the lease. That means if you have six months left on your lease then you owe six months rent!
Yes.
If the unit is rented immediately the landlord cannot charge you the rent for the rest of the terms on the lease, but may keep your deposit.
