QUESTION
Can the church get their money back from the sub lease?
Asked on Jan 09th, 2012 on Landlord and Tenant Law - New York
More details to this question:
If someone rented a sub-lease of a commercial lease that was not under his name, can the renters get their money back? My church has a sub-lease from a man who has a commercial space rented. We just found out that at the time we signed the sub-lease, the original lease was not under that man's name. The lease has recently changed to his name but I would like to know if the church is entitled to a refund of its money for the months that we paid him without the lease being legally his?

It sounds to me like there is more to the story. He may have been entitled to rent even if he technically did not have the over lease in his name.
