Unless the lease is in writing and allows a sublease (usually they do not allow it), you have no rights unless you renegotiate a new lease with the landlord. If subleasing is not permitted, you could be evicted.

It depends upon the written lease your cousin signed. Usually there is a provision that the tenant cannot sublet without the landlords consent. The landlord could then evict you.
