Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
Sublet what power do I have
I am a subletting a condo. A room mate hadn't paid rent for 3 months, the land lord has done nothing about and threaten to kick us out. I opte to pay for that persons room ($600) in exchange for him to remove them. He took the money and has done nothing about it.
What rights do I have in this matter? Can I sue him for my $600 back?
We have no lease at all.
What rights does he have besides just kicking us out at any time?

Retain a landlord tenant attorney ASAP. You are overmatched against this landlord.
