Is it okay for our landlord to have us pay last month's rent and security deposit to the departing tenants instead of him?
Yes, that might be fine. You should get something in writing from the landlord, in lieu of a receipt, making it clear that that's what you're doing.

Can landlord sue original tenant if sub tenant completes lease?
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. If the landlord is suing, it sounds instead like the tenant did not have the right to sublet and in that case they are responsible to complete the lease and the sub-tenant may not have had the right to be there.
Can a landlord continue to collect rent if title to the property has been transferred to a trustee?
I wouldn't think so, since the landlord transferred the land to a trustee the "landlord" couldn't have that title anymore, the trustee would so the trustee would collect the rent instead of the "old" landlord On the other hand you should ask if the "landlord" has been appointed the agent and property manager for the property owner. That appointment must be in writing and recorded in the land records. In that case they certainly may collect the rent.
Can a renter put rent into escrow if landlord doesn't fix property?
Proper procedures must be followed according to state and/or local laws regarding this. In Florida you must give the landlord at least a seven-day notice of your intent to fix something that is vital to your living in the home before you can legally offset it from the rent. The repair must not be frivolous and must be of something, like the water heater, that is vital to the function of the home or would make the home uninhabitable if such repair is not made. This said, the landlord can still evict you for non-payment of rent. However you would likely win the case and can seek damages from the landlord of up to three month's rent abatement. Now, if the landlord does evict you in Florida, you can pay what would be the rent amount to the Clerk's Office instead of the Landlord so that you can request a final hearing before a judge or magistrate. If you paid out money to fix something vital in the house you can ask for an emergency hearing to determine rent amount, before you get your final hearing. Whatever the judge says is the amount you have to pay-- most likely it will be your rent minus your repair expense-- and you must pay it immediately in order to have a hearing. Your landlord will get that money, minus the court registry fee of about 14%-- a penalty that will make your landlord think twice about being greedy about the rent!

Why is an inn keeper called a landlord?
I think it has to do with sounding modern & p.c. Inn keeper sounds a touch feudal; landlord or host is friendly and comtemporary. Same as saying bus driver instead of coachman. Personally I find the old terms more charming.
House fire due to electrical shortage can landlord be sued?
Probably, if you can prove that the landlord caused the problem. However, if the overload occurred as the result of another tenant you can sue them instead. Remember, in general, the landlord is NOT responsible for damage to personal property of the tenant, which is why they should obtain renter's insurance.
