Not granted permission to sublet can you sue for back rent?

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.

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 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.
