Letting her stay....what if I take pictures of the place before I leave and give them to the landlord?

If the landlord is a complete bitch as you say, she isn't going to give a shit about any pictures. You're responsible for it. I don't think it's even as simple as paying the landlord your half, if she doesn't pay her half you're still liable for it. She needs to leave too.

Re-reading your lease agreement would be a good thing right now, it should be noted somewhere what the penalty is for breaking it. I know it used to be in Nebraska that breaking a lease meant loss of sec deposit and the renter was liable for lost rent for up to 3 mos. But that was a long time ago and laws vary by state.
