This is a letter from a tenant to the landlord concerning the landlord's refusal to permit tenant to sublease the premises to a sub-tenant. Tenant is also informing the landlord of his/her reserving of legal rights and remedies, should the landlord continue to prevent a lease assignment.
A subtenant is someone who has the right to use and occupy rental property leased by a tenant from a landlord. A subtenant has responsibilities to both the landlord and the tenant. A tenant must often get the consent of the landlord before subletting rental property to a subtenant. The tenant still remains responsible for the payment of rent to the landlord and any damages to the property caused by the subtenant, unless the landlord agrees to release the tenant from liability.
Generally, to evict a roommate, you must be the original tenant (or the one who has signed a lease or rental agreement with the landlord), and the roommate you want to evict must be your landlord's subtenant. A subtenant is usually someone who is renting part of your place from you and paying rent to you instead of your landlord. In this relationship, you are the "landlord" and your roommate is your "tenant."
A tenant acting in the capacity of a landlord who resides in the same rental unit with his or her subtenant may be able to evict said subtenant without just cause, as required under some local landlord-tenant laws, which vary by locality. Depending on local law, a master tenant must give written notice to the subtenant a certain number of says in advance of eviction. If the subtenant doesn't leave, it may be necessary to file an unlawful detainer lawsuit.
Under some local laws, a tenant who subleases his or her rental unit may charge no more rent upon initial occupancy of the subtenants than that rent which the tenant is currently paying to the landlord. In other words, a master tenant cannot profit off of their landlord's property.
Subject: Concern regarding Landlord's Unreasonable Refusal to Allow Sublease in Little Rock, Arkansas Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern regarding your recent decision to refuse my request for a sublease of my rental property located in Little Rock, Arkansas. It is my belief that your decision is both unjustifiable and unreasonable, and I kindly request you to reconsider your position on this matter. First and foremost, I would like to highlight that the act of subleasing is not uncommon in the rental market. Many landlords across Little Rock, Arkansas, and the entire state routinely allow subletting as a means to accommodate tenant needs. Subleasing provides a practical solution to various circumstances, such as temporary relocations, job transfers, or financial constraints. By prohibiting subletting without a valid reason, you are limiting my options as your tenant and unnecessarily burdening me with the responsibility of continuing to pay rent for a property I am unable to utilize. Furthermore, it is essential to emphasize that my request for subleasing adheres strictly to the terms and conditions outlined in our rental agreement. I have thoroughly reviewed the lease agreement, and there are no clauses explicitly prohibiting subletting or assigning the tenancy to another party. As a tenant, I have maintained the property well and met all rental obligations, which further supports my credibility and responsible behavior. Allowing subleasing in this situation would not only benefit me but also mitigate potential financial risks for both parties involved. By subleasing, I can ensure that the monthly rent and any associated obligations will be upheld by a reliable individual, thus guaranteeing the continuity of rental payments and the property's maintenance. This added security makes subleasing a viable solution and should outweigh any concerns you may have regarding a new individual residing in the property. Lastly, I would like to draw your attention to the fair housing laws and regulations that apply in Little Rock, Arkansas, and across the United States. These laws prohibit arbitrary discrimination against tenants based on characteristics such as race, religion, sex, familial status, disability, or national origin. Refusing subletting without a legitimately justifiable reason could potentially be seen as discrimination, as it limits my options as a tenant and prevents me from exercising my rights within the legal framework. In light of the points presented above, I kindly ask you to reconsider your decision to refuse my request for subleasing. It is my sincere belief that subleasing, under these circumstances, is a reasonable solution that benefits both parties involved. I understand that you may have concerns or reservations, and I am more than willing to discuss them further in an attempt to find a mutually agreeable solution. Please consider this letter as my formal appeal and provide a prompt response. I believe that by engaging in open and constructive communication, we can resolve this matter in the best interest of all parties involved. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
