Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Iowa

Renting an duplex with 2 other people were all on lease. I had my gf move in and we broke up she wouldnt leave. Im now engaged to someone else and she wants me to move in with her. I have signed a one year lease with the 2 other people but not the ex gf. Roommates wont make her leave. I told the roommates that im moving out and they told me i cant. I said that the ex can take over my part of the lease but she wont. Can i have the ex evicted if she does not sign to take over my part of the lease?

You haven't explained what the ex girlfriend agreed to if anything. It sounds like she was a tenant at will. If you break the lease be prepared for the consequences-they may be significant, they may not depending on how much money is involved.
