Hi Robert,
Nice to meet you. How can I assist you with your legal issue today? Could you please provide more details about your situation and your location? This will help me give you the most relevant information.
I’m living in an apartment as a sublease with intent to being placed on the lease. I found my roommate, who is one the lease, is has not paid the rent in 3 months. I move in on November *, * with assistance from a local program to help me transition from a nursing home. They paid November rent and deposit monies. He spent all of it. He received a 3 day notice to quit. I was unaware this situation. What risks do I face and are laws that can protect me. I am a legally disabled senior.
Hi Robert,
I understand your situation. Could you please tell me your location (city and state)? This will help me provide more accurate information regarding your rights and protections as a subtenant and a legally disabled senior.

I know California has strict eviction laws even for those not on a lease if someone stayed somewhere over a month.
