Mike,
A question or two if I may. Do you know the exact contract between the renter and rentee of the space?
No I don't know the exact contract, I'm sorry. Although I'm NOT an attorney, I have several in my family (which STILL doesn't make me an attorney...lol) But trying to address your question, if the owner of a building or main lease holder is found liable for some reason, the circumstances would likely determine the respective parties' culpability. For example, if A leased to B, and B worked in conditions (example) that A knew about which contributed to somebody suffering an injury, both could be held liable, unless A was a superior of B, which would go under the respondeat superior provision of law. On the other hand, if A leased to B, and B engaged in some illicit practice, it would be incumbent upon plantiff to prove that A had reasonable knowledge of the activity/condition but was negligent in addressing the situation.
Also under your logic, if the owner or main lease holder is found at fault for some reason for some thing, does this also mean that the sub leasor or rentor in this case, is also at fault? Since they have the same priviledged, do they have the same responibilities?
Also, I find it distasteful that someone would try to steal someone else's students, and I can tell from your replies that you have had problems, yet this does not mean that everyone is out to get you.
It is distasteful, it is unprincipled and unethical, and while I don't train there anymore, I'm aware of what happened to more than one student. And, I'm sure hoping everyone isn't out to get me.......I'm more of a benevolent rather than being antagonistic. The previous reader failed to get enough information before he replied; the juxtaposition of his initial comments just supports what I already knew. Note that he doesn't train there but will be training there. I suppose I don't deal with naivite' nor offenses to my sensibilities very well.......

Just curious
