If a tenant's landlord made a mistake on the lease agreement, the tenant should bring it to the landlord's attention and discuss how to correct the error. It is important to communicate clearly and document any changes made to the lease agreement in writing. If necessary, seek legal advice to ensure that the tenant's rights are protected.

Tenant never switched gas into their own name. The landlord paid the bill for 7 months and then stopped. What are the tenant's rights?
If the lease agreement states that the tenant should switch the account to their name and pay the gas bill then the tenant should pay the landlord back. If there was no written agreement, or understanding, that the tenant pay the gas bill then you could try filing a complaint with the town, housing court, landlord-tenant agency, etc., if the landlord simply stopped providing heat and hot water. If the understanding was that the tenant pay their gas, they never switched the account to their name and the landlord didn't notice for seven months, then the tenant should start paying the gas bill and hope the landlord doesn't sue them for all the prior gas charges.

The correct term is "subordination".

Should a Landlord have any type of written agreement with his tenant's subleaser?
If the landlord has such an agreement between a tenant and his subleaser, then the subleaser is no longer a subleasor, and becomes a co-tenant, who would have the same rights as the original tenant. Most landlords don't like subleasers because they are not bound by the same terms as the tenant. By the same token the subleaser is in a bad position because he doesn't have the same rights as a tenant, and can be kicked out at any time.
Does a tenant have to paint the walls for a landlord?
It's not compulsory, but you should check the original Tenancy Agreement to make sure. Cosmetic work to houses is usually carried out by the tenant.
