Thank you. From your responses I should clarify.
I represent the tenant whose principal then entered into a sublease but
signed in their individual capacity. I'm troubled by this because how can
this tenant evict a subtenant when the tenant, who has possession by virtue
of a lease in its DBA name, is not the same person who entered into the
sublease? Therefore, can an eviction even be performed since who would be
the plaintiff? Perhaps an ejectment or unlawful detainer action.

I think you have to sue the original/master Tenant for eviction since that
is the party with whom the landlord has contractual privity. You could also
name the sub-tenant as an additional defendant so the subtenant cannot claim
you failed to join an indispensible party, but ultimately the original
tenant is the party liable to landlord. I don't know the exact cite, but
there's a case that addresses this issue: Bradford Underhill vs. Corporate
Rental Solutions, Inc., 17 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 1119a. The case basically
says that if the master tenant's lease is terminated, the sublease is also
automatically terminated. Hope this helps.

I would appreciate if anyone can comment on the following:
Tenant enters into commercial lease for space from landlord as individual
doing business as fictitious name. The lease is silent with respect to
subleasing.
Thereafter, tenant subleases same space in her fictitious name but signs
sublease in her individual capacity. Then, the subtenant defaults in the
payment of rent, is not paying and will not vacate. Tenant and subtenant
sharing same premises comprised of two offices.
Client wants to sue subtenant. The problem I see is that tenant is not the
one that entered into the sublease, so how can tenant be the proper party to
seek an eviction?
Other than breach of sublease agreement, who is the proper party to bring an
action and would it be an eviction, unlawful detainer, or ejectment?
Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
