Income from a sublet of a rented property

I rented my property to my parents for a nominal (under market rate) rent. They ended up subletting it at market rate to someone else and keeping that rental income for themselves.

 

For my taxes, do I just report the nominal rental income my parents paid me or do I also have to report the income from the sublet my parents did?

Renting below market rate means you have  a "not for profit"  rental where the income & expenses  do not get reported on a Sch E.  Income goes on the Sch 1 and the expenses (limited to the income) on the Sch A.

Just report the income you actually received.

As @Bsch4477 said, you only report the income you actually received. Your parents are responsible for reporting any income they received from a sub-let.
