This doesnt just happen with significant others... it happens with plain old roommates. My old roommate and I had been friends for years and we decided to get an apartment together since we both attended the same college in Michigan. One night while I was at work, she had a party that ended up getting busted (underaged drinking, etc). The apartment complex wasn't happy, nor was I. I tried to tell her I was moving out. Left her messages and Notes (we didnt see eachother much due to school and work). I had contacted the apartment complex 45 days prior to moving out and broke my lease legally with all the paperwork and what not (not to mention the money), and went to turn in my keys and they said everything was all hunkey dorey so I moved out and left for Florida. That night I got a call from my old roommate asking me where everything went (the dining set that was mine along with some of the kitchenware, I was nice enough to leave livingroom furniture). She got a hold of the apartment complex and they called me saying I broke my lease illegally because I had a roommate and I couldnt just leave by myself, even though they knew of the situation the ENTIRE time and I had informed them that she was staying. I ended up paying for 3 more months of time that she was there and I wasnt along with a move out fee for her since she decided to move in with her boyfriend ON TOP of the extra rent and move out fee I already had to pay while trying to pay for rent and utilities here in Florida...
