Eviction Rights For Subtenants
Summary
Subtenants in NYC have rights even if their sublease has expired. Eviction requires a 30-day notice and legal procedures in housing court. Non-payment of rent is a civil issue, not criminal, so police should not be involved. Discussing payment plans and renewing agreements with your roommate can help manage late rent situations.Full Conversation

does my roomate have to cover my share of rent since i will be behind
Hi Trad,
Your roommate, as the primary leaseholder, is ultimately responsible for ensuring the full rent is paid to the landlord. However, whether they must cover your share depends on your private arrangement and any written agreements between you two.
