    Isn't it illegal for a tenant to sub-let to somebody?

    If your friend is renting a room in this house, the contract should be with the landlord, not one of his tenants...

    About the only thing he can do is talk to the person he sub-let from - it's she has the deposit. Nobody else has a responsibility to your friend.

    If he does want to create a stink get a form RENT1 from www.revenue.ie and talk to the private rented property registration people in the local council to gfind out who the landlord is.

    Not really. It's quite common actually - it's what happens when someone rents a property by themselves and lets out the rooms. A landlord may of course have a condition in the lease forbidding sub-letting.

    There's a difference between house owner renting out a room, and a tenant in a rented house subletting on the QT, which looks like what's happening here. If somebody is renting a sublet room off a tenant in the house (and not the landlord) surely there's no contract or no comeback as the tenant is doing the subletting and not the landlord?
