My boyfriend entered a very complicated housing situation. He now wants to leave, and is nervous that he is going to be sued. Opinions? Here is a run down of the situation:
1: His friend's mother (a lawyer) signs the original lease with the owner of the apt.
2: He signs an illegal* (and handwritten) sublease.
3: Friend's mother sends a letter mid-lease changing the terms of tenancy and stating that he can leave the lease with 90 days notice.
*The building does not allow subleasing.
Basically, does the letter from step 3 relieve him of responsibility of the sublease?
If not, can she sue him/where? She is a lawyer in NY, he lives in CT, and the sublease was for an apt in DC.
TIA
