QUESTION
Is he still responsible for the other half of the rent that he agreed to pay initially if I have a protective order against him?

More details to this question:
My boyfriend (ex) recently attempted to kill me. The police had him arrested and charged him for criminal assault. The said individual and I lived together even though only my name was on the lease because the application wouldn't have been approved if his name was on there. We agreed to split the rent 50/50. Because of the order against him, he can't live with me. Also, his belongings are still in the apartment.

He is not responsible for the lease, if his name is not on the lease. The landlord is not bound by any agreement that you made.

Technically yes, but you won't be able to enforce it.
