    Now, he isn't on lease and no contract was made, but there are messages of promised money and so forth between us.
    If there is no written lease/agreement between you, how is he delinquent in his rent? Absent a contract, his contributions could be viewed as voluntary.

    Does your landlord know you have an unauthorized sub-tenant? What does your lease with your landlord say about such things?

    However, my question is am I allow to pawn his belongings for the delinquent amount of rent that he owes?
    Absolutely, positively not. That's a good way to wind up in jail.
