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: Antioch, California: A Tenant's Concern Regarding Landlord's Unreasonable Refusal to Allow Sublease Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to discuss my growing concern related to your recent denial of my request for subleasing my rental unit [Address] here in Antioch, California. I firmly believe that your decision is unreasonable, and I would like to provide a comprehensive explanation as to why allowing sublease is a fair and practical solution. Firstly, it is essential to emphasize that subleasing is a regular practice endorsed by numerous landlords globally and even within our local rental community. By permitting subleasing, landlords ensure a reliable stream of income while providing flexibility to tenants who may face certain circumstances that require temporary relocations or financial hardships. Encouraging subleasing also allows tenants to legally address their responsibilities and ensure the property is adequately maintained. Moreover, I want to assure you that my intention to sublease the premises was not born out of negligence or lack of commitment. Due to an unforeseen promotion, I have been offered an excellent job opportunity in another city. However, terminating my lease prematurely would result in financial burdens for both parties involved. Subleasing provides a win-win solution, as it ensures continuous rental payments and safeguards the condition of the property throughout my absence. Additionally, I have conducted thorough research regarding subleasing laws and regulations in Antioch, California, and found that the state laws and our lease agreement do not prohibit subleasing. Since I have fulfilled all my obligations as a responsible tenant, maintained the property diligently, and paid the rent promptly, it seems unfair and biased to deny my reasonable request to sublease the property. As an ethical landlord, I kindly request you to reconsider your decision and enter into a constructive dialogue to reach a mutually satisfactory resolution. If you still have reservations or concerns regarding subleasing, I propose arranging a meeting where we can discuss any guidelines or conditions that could address your concerns about the process. In the event that you remain adamant in your refusal to allow subleasing, it is essential to highlight that the unreasonable denial could potentially lead to more severe consequences. Please be aware that I will be left with no option but to explore legal remedies, proceed with terminating the lease, or seek alternative measures to ensure my rights as a responsible tenant are upheld. I highly value our professional relationship and strive for an amicable resolution to this matter. Therefore, I kindly request a prompt response within [reasonable time frame] to further discuss our options and find a beneficial outcome for all parties involved. Thank you for your consideration and understanding. I trust that you will evaluate this matter objectively and support a fair and just solution.
