Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
what a subleter is entitled to
In Nov of 2004 I subletted to a person. And in Jan my landlord came and said he sold the building. My new landlord is going to tear it down and so he gave all the tennets money for the hassle. Is a subleter entitled to half of that as well and the person on the lease or just the real tennent? Also, just because the landlords know that shes living there, does that mean they have the right to put him/her on the lease without re-signing anything? I just want to know what the subletter is entitled to out of that considering they are not on my lease.

Re: what a subleter is entitled to
The agreement with the sub-lettor is between you and that person. Furthermore, if you are on a lease, you are not required to move just because the original landlord sold the building. Your sublettor, if they have a written agreement with you, is not required to move, either, unless you compensate them.
