With the "narcissist" tag, its a fair bet this is a romance gone bad. Unfortunately, that means nothing to the LL since BOTH of you are on the lease. Since he is on the lease he has full rights to do as he pleases within the confines of the lease, as do you. Its simply not YOUR house, nor do either of you have a right to control the other in that regard, inlcuding permission from one or the other to have guests. So, if you "ran him off" you got what you asked for but not what you wanted. If he is on the lease BOTH of you owe the full rent to landlord and equally BOTH of you are subject to being sued for damages and eviction if that doesn't happen. Since you remain there then YOU will need to pay for the full rent to the landlord, unless the landlord allows otherwise. At the end of the lease you renew with just you on the lease.

That is why landlords require first and last months and a security deposit.
The only choice is to suck it up or sue him.
Snd if you successfully sue, thenyou need to collect from him
