[pbs911]

Any agreement for an act that will not be completed within 1 year must be in writing otherwise it is parole evidence. Agreements must be in writing that relate to real property must be in writing to be enforceable.

If you have a lease I would bet the magistrate enforces the terms as written unless the landlord agrees to the oral modification of the terms.

Do you have the right to sublease under your written agreement with the landlord?

If you are sued you can always bring in the subleasee as a third party (but then again you most likely have to have a writing.)

Good luck.
