Carlton owned a house in Barbaratown that he used as a rental property.  On January 1, 2024, he entered into a written 2-year lease with Juliet at a rental rate of $2,000 per month.  The lease stated that Juliet could not assign the lease or sublease the property without Carlton’s consent.  Juliet, who had a good job, moved in and paid her rent on time each month.   On July 1, 2024, Juliet informed Carlton that her aging father was ill, and that she needed to move into his house (several states away) by the first day of August to take care of him.  She asked for permission to transfer the remainder of her lease to her friend, Shawn.  Because Shawn had a questionable job history and no references, Carlton refused to agree to the transfer.   On July 31, 2024, a desperate Juliet executed a written transfer of the remainder of her lease term to Shawn anyway, labeling it “Sub-Lease” and reserving no interest in the lease for herself.  Shawn moved in immediately.  He began paying the rent on the first of each month, and Carlton reluctantly cashed his checks. On October 20, 2024, Shawn noticed that one of the basement stairs in the house had become loose and needed repair.  He frequently went up and down the stairs to do his laundry, often carrying heavy baskets full of clothes.  He included a note about the needed repair with his rent check for November in a letter that Carlton received on November 1, 2024.  Later that same night, Shawn suffered a broken leg and a concussion when the loose stair collapsed as he was heading down the basement stairs to do laundry.  Shawn sent Carlton his medical bills from the incident.  Carlton repaired the step on November 3, 2024, but refused to pay the medical bills.  An angry Shawn moved out of the house on November 30, 2024, without paying any more rent. Can Carlton collect rent from anyone?  If so, from whom and how much? Is Carlton liable for Shawn’s medical bills?
