Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York

I moved out of my previous apartment due to a murder that took place next door & provided documentation from my therapist that I could no longer live there. Management said I would be removed from the lease and I moved out but now that my ex ran up a 6,000 balance in rent they're holding me partially responsible. Now this is hurting my credit. Can I fight this?

Do you have anything in writing from the Management that says you are removed from the lease? If not you are just as responsible as your ex since both names are on the lease.
