    Default Subtenant Asked to Move Out on Only a Week's Notice

    A subtenant, renting an apartment in Florida, has been told that he has to move out in one week. No written notice was given. The master tenant simply decided to end the tenancy and didn't tell the subtenant until now. The master tenant's landlord knows about the subtenancy, but there has been no further involvement with that landlord. What are the subtenant's rights?

    Default Re: Subtenant Asked to Move Out on Only a Week's Notice

    As the landlord is aware of the situation, the subtenant can consider speaking with the landlord. It may be possible to get an agreement for additional time to move out, or to take over the lease, although the landlord is likely to be cautious if another tenant has been found for the apartment. The landlord is not going to want to have to go through the trouble of eviction, but is also not going to want to create a new tenancy with the subtenant if different tenants will be moving into the apartment the following month.

    The subtenant may have a cause of action for breach of contract against the master tenant, given the termination of the tenancy on inadequate notice.
