I signed a sub-lease agreement for a retail space in April, 2000. In the contract the landlord (the tenant that I am sub-leasing from) explicitly states that he has the legal right to sub-lease the property. The contract was signed, sworn to and notarized.
On October 6, 2000, the owner of the building approached me and told me that although he has been aware of my occupancy and the sub-let for 5 months, he has never directly spoken to my landlord about it and that the sub-let is illegal.
What are my rights if I want to continue my tenancy? And what are my rights if I want to void the contract based on my landlord's breach of contract? My landlord also has a 2 months security deposit that I am very concerned about. If the contract is void based on his fraudulent claim that the owner of the building was aware of and gave consent to the sub-lease, when can I get my security deposit back?
I am located in Los Angeles, California.
