He is definatly using the apartment as a control issue. You can always try to explain this issue to the leasing department and see if they will let you get off the lease. That won't usually happen though - but its worth a shot. If he leaves and you have the apartment, you can find another roommate or sublet the apartment to someone else, just be sure to do it officially in writing so if they default on the rest you are NOT responsible. See what your lease says about subletting. He cannot make you leave if you are on the lease whether you pay anything or not! I hope some of this helped - I'll be on for a while so if you have other questions - let me know and I will try to help!
