You do not give enough information to really answer this question.. First, if your soon to be ex is still living there he can be held responsible for the rent. Second, in Michigan the worst case scenario is you will be liable for ONLY the unpaid rent until the term of the lease is up. Third, the landlord has a responsibility to mitigate damages, e.g. re-rent, a vacant unit.
