Effect of Sublandlord's Eviction: If the sublandlord was evicted and did not appear in court, they might have lost their right to possession of the property. As far as I know, if you are not on the lease with the landlord, you have no rights.For subletting to be legal, the tenant must comply with the tenancy agreement, and usually, they require the landlord's permission for subletting to proceed. My lease said "no subletting without the permission of the landlord", so I reach out to the landlord and ask about permission to sublet. A landlord refusing to rent to someone because of their race or ethnicity is an example of housing discrimination that is illegal under Fair Housing laws. Tenants may be able to sublet the rental unit if they get permission from their landlord. Most leases will let you sublet, but require you to get written permission from the landlord first. And one final thing: You may find tenants who sublease without your permission. This should be a total non-starter. No such mortgage shall in any wise interfere with the landlord's rights, priority or remedies for rent.
