How to evict a sub-tenant

[Jay Thomas]

Hello all,

I'm having problem with my sub-tenant. I subleased my apartment couple of months ago with landlord's permission. Now in the last month of the sublease, my sub-tenant is refusing to pay the agreed amount saying landlord didnt repair heater in a timely fashion last month. From my understanding, you can only deduct rent if you paid out of pocket but my sub-tenant is only charging for inconvenience. Now that she withheld rent, landlord is holding me liable for rent balance. What are my options? Can I evict this sub-tenant?
