As far as the landlord is concerned, each of you is responsible for all of the rent. The dissolution court may very well split the rent for an apartment that NEITHER of you is living in anymore; if you still live there, you would probably have to show how paying for your home is too much of a financial burden for you.

Who paid the storage bill has no influence on who ultimately gets the items that are in storage.
