about 14 years ago i was subleasing a rent stabilized apartment on lafayette between prince and spring. the sub lease was illegal and we were the 4th to 5th set of people renting it. the rent itself was $231.38, it was a small 1 bedroom.. every other apt in the area at the time was easily over $2K a month..
1 day i came home to find a 45 page document from the NYC housing authority fixed on my front door..stating .. dear john and jane doe, you have 1 week to vacate the premises of this apartment or all belongings held inside will be confiscated by the city.. i had 1 week to find an apt in nyc and move.. it was cummish!!
it went on and on.. 45 pages.. yes i could have fought it, but probably only to be in the apt with no lease..
anyways.. if your lease states a sublease is not allowed. i suggest you figure out a way to have the lease broken and revised with your name on it and a new roommate.
read thru your lease and the tenants guide rights to see what is your legal rights and what the landlords legal rights are.
good luck.
