You cannot sue for back rent to a tenant who has sublet in the apartment, when you the landlord did not give permission for that to happen in the first place. You have the right to evict the tenant or to force the tenant not to sublet the apartment. You could write into the lease that if you tenant does sublet, a fee can be charged for every month the subletting occurs, until the subletting ends.

Can you sue for back rent although not granted permission to sublet?
Depends. If you mean someone wanted to move out and sublet and you refused to let them sublet and they move out anyway can you sue them? It depends on whether the lease allowed them to or not. Generally a lease would have to "PROHIBIT" this; if it just says the landlord won't "unreasonably" deny consent to a sublease, then the landlord has to be reasonable and if it isn't, may lose out. This may vary from state to state. The thing is, that landlords generally are protected in sublease situations because there the tenant is supposed to collect the rent and send it to the landlord, so the original tenant is still responsible. But if the landlord starts accepting rent from the SUB-tenant, then it's possible the landlord will have agreed to release the tenant. This too varies from state to state and based on facts.

If your husband and you are on a lease with two other people and they move out and leave us with the payment of rent and your lease will not end for another 9 months what can your landlord do?
You and your husband will still be responsible for the rent, maybe your landlord will allow you to sublet, that way you are off the hook until the end of your lease, now go after the other 2 and get your share of the rent back from them.
Can you still go back to the house you were in if you got evicted?
You can go back but you cannot enter the property without permission from the landlord. If you mean if you can rent it again, most landlords will not rent to you again, but it never hurts to ask.
Is it legal for your tenant to rent to other people without landlords permission?
The situation you describe is called a sublet. Read your lease to confirm that this is allowed as part of the agreement you have with your landlord. Of course, if you choose to collect rental revenue from people without your landlord's permission, and you're collecting rent based on the landlord's assets, you may be liable to the landlord to turn all monies over to him or her. Best practices indicate that it's always a better idea to behave within the bounds of the agreement you have with your landlord.
