Illinois, Chicago area
I signed a 15 month lease with two (at the time) friends whom are a couple. I was there for six months until their fighting got aggressive they laid hands on each other and I called the police. I can not live with them anymore in fear of my roommate. I got a paper from the landlord to be removed from the lease but both roommates have to sign it and it has to be notarized. They refuse to sign it and are trying to make me pay rent even though they kicked me out and I no longer live there. It's a very unhealthy environment and I've tried talking to the landlord but she told me to talk to an attorney. Please help me!
