If you are subleasing a workspace for your LLC, yes, you can deduct it. However, you need to have a paper trail. So, if you are paying cash, you need to be getting receipts when you make the payments. The one you are subleasing from can write you a receipt.
You do not have to be "Officially" on the lease to deduct it as long as you can prove you are paying it. It would be a good idea if you were though. If you have no way to prove you have paid it, then if you would be audited, there is a good chance you would end up not being able to take that deduction and then have to pay taxes and penalties.
As a business, you always want a paper trail and proof of payments.
