<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

Around 2 months ago, my roommate had an 'incident', and it was no longer safe for me to stay at my apartment, so I moved out. Before leaving, I went to the complex's main office and informed them I was moving out immediately, and asked if there was any way to break the lease early. They abruptly informed me, no, there's nothing I could do to break the lease, and it would be cheaper to simply let the lease expire and pay a month's rent  even if I didn't live there.

  Yesterday, I received a call informing me that 30 days' notice of move-out was not given, so my lease was automatically renewed for a full year term. When I went back to the main office, I was told that both myself and my insane former roommate had to go to the office together to inform them we were moving out, and the fact that I told them I was leaving a month ago was unsatisfactory.

In order to break the lease, they want 1 month's rent, a pro-rated amount for the following month, and they would keep my deposit, which I am unable to afford. If I skip out, they will send a collection agency after me for the full amount of the entire year's rent. Also, if my roommate does not agree to these terms, there is 'nothing' I can do to move out. Ever.

The biggest problem is that I have found a temporary place to live, and I have started the process of purchasing a house, so I can't afford to destroy my credit. What can I do?
<bot>: I moved out over a month ago, but the apartment complex said, "Nope, you're ours for the rest of your life."
