Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

I was illegally subleasing my former friend's apartment in San Francisco from October 2008-August 2009 (her landlord never approved the sublease). I did not sign a contract with her, nor provide her with a security deposit.

Since the move out, we have had a big falling out. Today she sent me an email stating that I owe her money for clean up, trash pick up and damages (holes, scratches to the wall- which she mentioned that she documented) and that I need to immediately deposit it into her account.

I want to know, what legal rights does she have? Can she take me to court even though it was an illegal sublease? I need some advice! Please help me.

Thank you in advance.
