Tenants should check their original lease to see if they need their landlord’s permission to sublease. Even if it’s not required, obtaining written consent is recommended to maintain a positive landlord-tenant relationship and avoid potential legal disputes.
In most subleases, the tenant (sublessor) pays the landlord while the new occupant (subtenant) makes monthly payments to the tenant. However, the subtenant can pay the landlord directly if they agree to this arrangement.
It’s important to remember that the tenant remains responsible to the landlord for the original lease. If the subtenant damages the premises, doesn’t pay rent, or causes other problems, the tenant will be held liable.
