What is this person trying to say that she is a direct tenant and somebody else is living there and she want to sublet the apartment again and there is another owner. I am not sure about this. Can you guess what it is and draft me a message so that we can confirm?

Here's my read of the situation and a draft reply:
What Maria is saying:
Maria Mosqueda is the primary/direct tenant (she has a lease directly with the landlord) on a studio apartment at Grove Street. She got a job promotion and was transferred elsewhere, so she's subleasing (not subletting to a second person who then re-rents — just a standard sublease) her apartment with her landlord's approval. The apartment is currently occupied by someone else (likely a previous subtenant or short-term occupant), and that person won't be out until around May 30th. She can't let you view it in person right now out of respect for the current occupant's privacy, but she has a video tour she can send.
Your concern about "another owner" is likely just that she's not the building owner — she's a tenant subleasing. The landlord has approved it, which is the key thing to verify.
Draft reply to confirm key details:
Hi Maria,
Thank you for the clarification — that's helpful context!
Just to make sure we have everything clear before moving forward, could you confirm the following:
  1. Landlord approval — Could you share a copy of the written approval from your landlord permitting the sublease? We'd like to review this before proceeding.
  2. Move-in date — You mentioned the apartment will be available from May 30th. Can we confirm the earliest move-in date would be June 1st, or is May 30th/31st also possible?
  3. Lease terms — What is the duration of the sublease being offered, and what are the monthly rental terms?
  4. Video tour — Yes, please do send over the video tour of the apartment — we'd love to take a look.
  5. In-person viewing — Once the current occupant has vacated, would it be possible to schedule an in-person walkthrough before signing anything?
We want to make sure everything is properly documented and above board before committing. Looking forward to your response!
Best regards, Takshit Shah
This reply confirms the sublease structure, requests proof of landlord approval (important to protect yourself), and keeps the conversation moving without raising alarm. Let me know if you'd like to adjust the tone or add anything.
