Possible to evict tenant who is illegally subletting without lease signature?

John WIlson
Posted

A tenant of mine has been living in a rent controlled unit since the '80s & pays $1000/mo. for a 3 bedroom (market is $3,800). It has come to my attention that a new sublessee has moved in a few days ago. The original tenants do not live there, however they still pay us monthly. I am almost positive they are making bank from this sublet situation. We have the original lease, which prohibits subleasing, but we are missing the last page which has a signature. We are willing to do anything within the confines of the law to bring this unit to market again. Do we have any recourse? Thank you.

Good ol' rent control. Another failed government program that keeps chuggin' along!

Given the location of the property, I would contact an attorney that specializes in evictions and see what you can do.
