Hello all, quick question about tenancy contracts.
Background for context - I am a subtenant, it has come to light that my landlord is subletting to me unlawfully. Apparently it says in the head lease, subletting is permitted if permission is obtained, which apparently, it was not. I have not seen the head lease and the head landlord and the agent seem reluctant to send it to me. They want a copy of my contract with my landlord as proof they are in breach of the contract they have. I want a copy of the head lease for the same reason to then take legal action. The head landlord and agent are a bit stand off-ish and are saying something about a data breach if they send me the contract they have with my landlord.
I doubt the answer is yes, but am I entitled to see the head lease in this situation, at least a redacted version, or is there any legal way of obtaining it? TIA
