Has any anyone been asked to pay rent on a shop that they no longer use because they have sold it on?

Landlord tries to get rent from you on a shop premises where the lease has been assigned to a new tenant and the new tenant has failed to pay the rent and left the premises. Anyone had any experience of this?

You had a deal with the landlord to rent the place.
You assigned to a third party your right to occupy the place.
The third party ditched.
Question: Did the landlord relieve you of liability, or did you just unilaterally assign your occupancy rights to the third party?
If the landlord didn’t relieve you of liability, his recourse is against you…and then it’s up to YOU to go against the deadbeat third party. Think about it…the landlord’s deal was with you, not with a third party you dug up.

if the original renter signed a lease, went out of business, but the lease was still in effect and then sublet it to someone else and that person failed to pay rent – the original rent is still responsible for all unpaid past and future rent
