I am not a lawyer. Here is my (perhaps flawed) understanding.

Original landlord is not involved, although he is very interested, as this could turn into an ugly battle. This is between Mr Ding and Mr. XX. This underscores the importance of written agreements. Depends on the legal climate in MA. Mr. Ding has effectively become a landlord who sublet to Mr. XX. Contracts, even verbal contracts, are enforceable, but very difficult to prove in court. (see verbal contract link)

If I were in Mr. Ding's position, I would get Mr. XX to somehow agree (in writing) to quit the premises. This would constitute an enforceable written contract.

He does, besides the indisputable fact that, have an settlement with you. A month to month hire is mostly a continuation of the signed hire you do have on a 30-day foundation. subsequently, to get her out, he might could evict you and all tenants. you may provide her a existence like time to vacate the premises, 30 days.

"verbal agreement" is not legally binding and does not constitute a contract.

This is a matter of ethical responsibility and when it comes to leases, the Landlord and you must ensure the third party comits himself to a contract.
