Under California civil code, tenants without leases maintain rights like limits on rent increases, proper notice before eviction, and requiring the landlord to maintain habitable living conditions. Be aware that without a lease, landlords only need to provide 30 days' notice to increase rent or terminate tenancy.
The Sublessee shall have the right to sublet the whole (but not less than the whole) of the Leased Premises, subject to the condition that the subletting of the Leased Premises shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Sublessor and the Minister, and any Sublease shall comply with the Bylaws.
A master tenant is considered a landlord in relation to his or her subtenant, meaning that a master tenant is able to evict a subtenant. Subtenants do not have the right to evict their master tenant or other subtenants or roommates. Similarly, roommates who are co-tenants cannot evict their fellow co-tenants.
