PLEASE do not sign the lease. If he is being nice, is because that is the part of the part of the "cycle of abue" he is in...there will be another explosion/episode...whatever you want to call it. It is a vicious cycle....you certainly do not want to be tied to him financially & legally w/ a lease. Are you in the US?
If he is not there, call the DV hotline...just talk with them. The national DV hotline # is 800-799-SAFE.
