If the tenant's health issues are caused by the landlord's violation of health and building codes, then the tenant can sue the landlord. The landlord's insurance would normally get involved at this point, as opposed to being sued directly. If the tenant has special health needs that the landlord isn't meeting, then too bad, move. As long as the health and building codes are being complied with, tenants cannot force a landlord to take extraordinary measures.

It depends. If the sub-tenant was there by right and the landlord allowed a sub-lease, then that's a situation where nothing has gone wrong.

Not unless the landlord has followed your state's laws regarding disconnection of utilities for nonpayment. Any landlord who disconnects the tenant's utilities (except temporarily for maintenance purposes) without following these laws will be guilty of constructive eviction. A constructively evicted tenant can sue the landlord for moving expenses and damages.
Can you sue your apartment complex for overpayment?
A tenant would file a law suit to get damages, to get something they are due that the landlord won't give them. If the landlord is overcharging, then the tenant would simply not pay the over-charge and tell the landlord this in writing with an explanation. If the landlord tries to evict, the tenant has a chance to explain in court why the eviction is wrong. If the judge agrees, the eviction will be denied. If the judge agrees with the landlord, then they decided you were wrong to think you were being overcharged.
How long can you sue landlord for wrongful eviction?
Right after the tenant has moved out, if the landlord has his case ready. There is no waiting period, but the statute of limitations limits the amount of time the landlord has to file the lawsuit.
