Fees and fines are two different things. Charging for illegal sublets is probably a "fine" - which has to be authorized/allowable by the lease.
The sublet cost sounds like a "fee." Which may or may not have to be allowable per the lease.
If the lease does not permit fines then they are unenforcable and you do not have to pay them no matter what the
coops says.
