If you're on the lease, you remain liable to the landlord for the rent. If you pay your half of the rent, and your mother doesn't, the landlord may be able to sue you for her half. You could sue your mother for her half. But, that might not be desirable, from a personal standpoint. Perhaps, if you tell your mother that you have consulted an attorney and that you're contemplating surrendering the place to the landlord, she will make more of an effort to get along with you.
Good luck.
