Q & A-01
For San Francisco only: 
Q: Does a subtenant 's rent be proportionate to the amount of space the subtenant occupy. 
A: Yes, the rent should be proportionate. A Master tenant cannot charge for all the rent or for the space the subtenant does not occupy or have access. 
or instance, if the subtenant's space is the small space in the apartment, the master tenant cannot expect the subtenant to pay the same rent as someone who has the largest bedroom. Other services extra services the subtenant receives can be taken into consideration.

僅適用於舊金山：
Q: 次承租人的租金，是否依照佔有的空間的比例計算金額？
A: 是的, 次承租人的租金是依比例計算。主承租人不能收取所有的租金，也不可向次承租人收取未佔有或使用的空間收取租金。 舉例來說，如果次承租人佔有的空間較小，那麼主承租人不能要求與那位擁有較大的臥室的次承租人支付相同的租金。次承租人所得到的其他服務以及額外服務則可以列入租金收費考慮。

Q & A-02

Q: If I am a subtenant, can the master tenant evict me?
A: Make sure you are really a subtenant and not a co tenant. What is your relationship with the landlord? Have you ever paid rent, requested repairs or filled out a credit application? If you are really a subtenant, the master tenant can evict you with no just cause if you moved in before May 25 1998 or after that date if he/she waived the right to just cause in writing before you moved in.
