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.
Title: Chandler Arizona Letter from Tenant to Landlord: Challenging Unreasonable Refusal of Sublease Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address the matter of your refusal to allow me to sublease the rental property located at [property address] in Chandler, Arizona. As a responsible tenant, I believe your decision is unreasonable and unjustified. This letter aims to outline the reasons why I believe I should be granted permission to sublease the property and respectfully request you reconsider your position. 1. The Need for Sublease: a. Temporary Relocation: Explain any personal circumstances or work-related issues that necessitate your temporary absence from the rental property. b. Mitigating Financial Burden: Highlight how subleasing will help you mitigate the financial burden of paying the full rent while you are away. 2. Legal Subletting Rights: a. Review of Lease Agreement: Enclose a copy of the lease agreement and highlight any clauses or provisions that mention subletting or assignment of the lease. b. Legal Authority: Elaborate on the legal rights granted to tenants under Arizona landlord-tenant laws, emphasizing that, unless specified otherwise in the lease, subleasing is permitted unless the landlord has reasonable grounds to deny it. 3. Responsible Sublease Plans: a. Sublessee Selection Process: Discuss how you have diligently vetted potential sublessees, ensuring that they meet all necessary criteria, such as credit checks and references. b. Maintenance Responsibility: Emphasize that you will retain responsibility for any damages caused by the sublessee during their tenure. 4. Open Communication: a. Previous Discussions: Reference any previous discussions or agreements indicating a possible sublease arrangement and the reasons behind your decision to pursue subleasing. b. In-person Meeting Offer: Suggest a meeting to further discuss your sublease proposal, providing an opportunity for dialogue and negotiation to reach a mutually beneficial resolution. 5. Consequences of Unreasonable Refusal: a. Legal Consequences: Mention that an arbitrary denial of sublease without reasonable grounds may constitute a breach of the lease agreement and expose the landlord to legal consequences. b. Potential Tenant Loss: Affirm your willingness to consider alternative options if the sublease request remains denied, potentially risking damage to the tenant-landlord relationship. Conclusion: In conclusion, I kindly request that you reconsider your decision to refuse my sublease request for the aforementioned reasons. I genuinely believe that granting permission for subleasing will allow both parties to benefit financially while ensuring the property's well-being. I hope we can discuss this matter further in person to find a resolution that satisfies both parties' interests.
