Location: NORTHERN COLORADO. I am in a situation where I am on a lease with one other individual. A year ago my roommates younger brother was in a desperate situation and we took him in, to support him and help him get back on his feet. All expectations thrown aside, it was the right thing to do, to aid in him having a roof over his head and an extra income to contribute to the rent. When the lease renewed, there's was the knowledge of this 3rd person being in the household but never committing to signing the lease (by all parties tenants and property manager). There was no penalty or reinforcements made on the part of the property manager. Four months after the new lease took place, a physical altercation took place in the house resulting in me calling the cops due to this younger brothers alcoholism and violent outburst. I endangered myself by placing myself in between my 2 fighting roommates to stop the fight from escalating while also being threatened at the same time (by the intoxicated one). My biggest concern was everyone's safety which is why I called the cops. After this incident I have not felt safe or comfortable living in the house and have since moved out. This is an extremely toxic and unhealthy environment for me to live in and puts a strain on my mental well being. I have brought this information to the property manager, in hopes to regarding me being able to break the lease and leave due to the concern for my safety and well being, as well as my dogs. I recorded a conversation between myself and the property manager, where I mention there being a 3rd person living in the household for over 6 months who is not on the lease, the fight that occurred with me calling the cops to intervene, and my fear and concern for my safety.. The response i recieved was that, i am still responsible for paying my portion of rent until the lease ends in July and no action or consequences resulting from this situation. So it is my understanding from this exchange that there is nothing he can do to aid in protecting my safety within the household after this threatening circumstance. Im really upset, i feel extorted by the property manager. What can I do to protect myself and my rights in this situation? Do I have a say in my safety being at risk living at this house? I don't make the income to support rent for these 2 homes.
