Can I collect expenses from a sublandlord who illegally sublet her home to me?
I have a 6 month written lease with my sublandlord. I recently found out that she did not have permission to sublet. Fortunately the homeowner agreed to sign a new lease with me directly and kick her out at the end of the month. I have to come up with a security deposit and deposits for utilities by may 1 as opposed to sept 1 when I had originally planned according to the end of my sublet. Do I have a right to expect my sublandlord to pay for those expenses since she lied and misrepresented this rental from the beginning?
