Who gets the apartment?!?

Okay so me and my boyfriend have been dating for almost three years, been living together for two. I haven't brought up breaking up with him yet. But I need help, please! Our lease is not up til February. He was the one who found the place on craigslist, I had the money to move in: $500 deposit and $1,090 for the first and last month's rent. This first 6 months I've been mostly paying for everything even though he got a job two months after we moved in.





Most of the furniture is his, and I'm not trying to keep any of his things just the APARTMENT. He only has a part time job, I work 70-80 hours a week. I'm afraid that he wont be able to support himself and I don't want to leave him like that. I'm helping him buy a scooter (we made a contract stating that he will pay me in installments for it) because I feel it will help him to get to work and go to school, cause he's not doing anything, according to him he has no motivation, I'm just doing this to help him get his act together. Now that we've arranged this, he's been talking about how he's going to get a second job and pay all the bills and this and that, BUT I don't want to be with him anymore! When we first got the place he said if I would ask him to leave he would, since I paid for it. Now when we fight he says he'll fight for the place and get ME out. Last big argument we had he punched holes on a door because he knew I could loose my deposit. He's crazy like that and that is why I'm sick of him. Am I wrong for wanting to brake up with him and keep the place? He makes me have these guilt trips saying I'm the one who "wins at the end by putting him on the street"


I mean I work super hard for this place. Like I don't even have a life cause of this asshole he's always calling when I'm at work. I can't even visit a friend or family cause he's just CALLING and CALLING.





I don't even know how to bring it up to my landlord. Cause if I "get" the place I know I will be miserable the whole time he's there or he'll probably wreck the place just like he has threaten he will. I mean one time I woke him up by turning on the lights one time when I got home from work really late, I didn't mean to. But he ended up flipping out and made me stay up with him because he couldn't go back to sleep, but I mean like MADE ME stay up : sit on the floor, threatening me, pull me up by my shirt and yell at me if I dosed off (I had class and work the next day) I mean COMPLETE asshole!


I don't know what to do. I don't want to loose the place but I don't know how to go about this. Am I greedy? :( PLEASE help|||Laws on this vary by state, but generally if the person is on the lease they can't be forced out. If he's not on it the place is yours. He is abusive, and the next time he threatens you or damages the place or puts his hands on you, call the police as that is domestic abuse. Get rid of him ASAP he is dangerous.
