no, no sublease.
a current tenant moved from one unit to ours once we moved out. he signed a new contract with the landlord within a week of us moving out.

the only verbal agreement we had with the landlord was that we had to find someone to take over our space.

i figured out his angle.
he is proposing that HE moved the new tenant in AFTER we moved out so we should have to pay for the last 3 months rent for the new tenants old unit.
confusing?
we have a dozen or so witnesses that saw the new tenant measuring and looking at our space BEFORE we moved out, and at least once the lanlord came over with him.

he sent us a bill on dec 26th demanding $8k and that it be paid in 5 days, by the 31st, but we have a letter from his lawyer stating that we agreed to this on the 26th. which we never did.
here is my point. the first week of dec the new tenant moved into our space and signed a contract that week so why should i agree to pay anything because as far as i was concerned my contract is terminated as soon as my space is rented.

here is a good one.
from what i have heard my lawyer has subpoenaed (?) the landlord 3 times for copies of the electric bill and he has not provided them.
this goes along with one of his former tenants that requested copies of the elctric bill and he refused to give them to her. in the end she sued and won.
i dont know if this will fly with the elctric bill.
becuse the contract stated the electric had to be in our name and we could not do that because of one meter base and 2 units, he "added" the electric to our rent, (not in the contract), so we may be able to get all that money back. (?)

i also want to know if the contract can be voided all together since he did not comply with the electric portion of the contract.
