Legal Help Needed

[Chris Seveney]

All,

This one is a doozy. I have a family friend who leased an apartment in maryland then sub-leased it to another person . (I guess they did a sign an agreement but never got it blessed by the property manager which was stated in her lease she needed to do). She left town and now he stopped paying rent and is living for free. . She now has gotten an eviction notice and has a court hearing this week. 

She is afraid of a civil suit from this person if he is evicted because his agreement is with her even though he has not paid rent and also has not paid the utilties (which they are going to shut off), but she left them in her name but he is responsible.

Long story short, anyone know a good tenant/landlord attorney she could call.
