I'm in the process of trying to clean up some debt I had from breaking a lease with my old apartment complex. There were three people on the lease and I have already paid for my third of the debt however it is still on my credit because we all three signed the lease.

Hi
I fear the breaking of the lease will be reported on the credit reports of all the three responsible parties even after you have paid your share.
You can add a 100 word statement in your credit file explaining the actual situation. Your future lenders will understand the facts and won't create any problems to you.
Have you talked to the landlord and request him to report your account as paid in your credit file?
