Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
Apt. lease obligation
I am currently separated from my spouse for abuse. We are both unemployed at the moment and he is living in the apartment that has both of our names on the lease. My question is what can I do to get my name off of the lease and what are my legal rights. Will I still be obligated to pay?

Re: Apt. lease obligation
To put it simply, you are stuck. Perhaps the landlord will allow you to get off the hook. Speak with the landlord. In the meanwhile hope your spouse pays the rent.
