District of Columbia | Landlord & Tenant Law
Legal Question
i live in dc. i was renting an apartment that i could no longer afford. the person i sublet to did not pay rent and was evicted. the lease was in my name so technically i was evicted. thousands are owed. the person i sublet to says he paid me but he did not. he is threatening to sue me, plus i'm not sure what happens now with the thousands that are owed to property management company that owns the building. am i at risk of going to jail? i'm terrified, broke, staying with friends and near suicidal. please tell me what to do!
