I'm not a lawyer, but I'll attempt a general answer. You can't sue the landlord for breach of contract if your name isn't on the lease. But, if you're suing him for negligence (for example, if he failed to maintain the stairs and you fell), it doesn't matter if you're a legal tenant or just a visitor. Also, in many cities, if you sublet from a legal tenant, you have the same rights they do. Probably best to consult a lawyer. If you don't have money, the legal aid society in your town should be able to help you.

What happens if you drive a rental you didn't take out?
In general, only authorized drivers as specified on the rental contract are allowed to drive rental cars. This includes the person whose name is on the contract, and any additional persons specified on the form. A spouse is often included automatically (best to ask). If you drive a rental car that you are not authorized by contract to drive, and something happens to the car, the person whose name is on the contract will be held responsible.
Can a landlord remove somebody without a tenancy agreement?
I am assuming you mean that there is a cause for eviction (non-payment of rent, unruly behaviour, etc.) If so, then you will need to (retain an attorney to) file an unlawful detainer action against the tenant. Note that a 3 day notice is required before filing such a lawsuit--talk to your attorney for more info.

Do you have to pay rent to a landlord who's property is in default?
Yes, you have to pay rent to a landlord whose property is in default. As long as the landlord still has control over the property he can still collect rent from you and evict you if it's not paid. A foreclosure of a home is a matter between the owner of the home and his lender, not the tenant.
Can a landlord have a tenants car towed off property for non payment of rent?
Laws vary by state, but in most states, this would be illegal, and would subject the landlord to civil penalty, probably three months rent for a breach of quiet enjoyment. But it's not just a violation of the tenancy; it is a violation of the personal property rights of another person. The landlord can be sued for damages including the entire value of the car that was illegally removed, regardless of whose car it is.
Who should pay deductible from my renters insurance on APT rental due to water pipe burst Landlord or Tenant?
Regardless of the situation: renter, landlord, apartment building or condominium situation, the first priority is to address the clean-up. Then, phone your broker and turn the issue over to your broker, who will collect all the insurance participants to decide who pays for the clean-up. (Clean-up and paying for clean-up may be separate issues.) The insurance stakeholders will determine whose deductible is due.
