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: Challenging the Unreasonable Refusal of Sublease: A Progressive Pomona California Tenant's Appeal Letter Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to address an issue that has recently arisen regarding your refusal to grant permission for subleasing my apartment at [address]. As a tenant in the vibrant community of Pomona, California, I value the harmony between landlords and tenants, and I believe that your refusal to allow sublease in my circumstances is unreasonable and warrants reconsideration. 1. Refusal to Allow Sublease: A Brief Explanation Pomona's rental market fluctuates, and various legitimate reasons may lead tenants to seek sublease arrangements. However, despite presenting you with a well-structured proposal outlining the potential sublessee's background, financial stability, and employment status, you have unreasonably denied my request. This refusal poses an undue burden on me as your tenant and undermines my ability to manage my financial obligations responsibly. 2. Understanding the Importance of Sublease for Tenants Subleasing serves as a critical lifeline for tenants facing unexpected life events or financial emergencies. By permitting sublease, tenants can secure an additional source of income to meet their financial obligations and forge a temporary solution while they're unable to occupy the premises themselves. Pomona's diverse community often experiences students, freelancers, or individuals seeking temporary housing, making subleasing a common arrangement in the area. 3. Protecting Both Parties: A Win-Win Solution Allowing sublease can be a mutually beneficial decision. Approving a sublease arrangement would help alleviate any financial burden I may face by ensuring that rental payments continue as agreed upon in the lease agreement. A thorough screening process and background check on the prospective sublessee ensures that the apartment remains occupied by responsible individuals who meet your tenant criteria, assuring security and mitigating against any property damage risks. 4. Considerations for Property Value and Market Demand Pomona's real estate market is ever-evolving, which inherently influences rental demand and property values. By prohibiting sublease, you may inadvertently restrict the apartment's exposure to potential tenants, limiting the property's marketability. An open-minded approach toward allowing sublease would enable you to tap into a wider pool of screened applicants, maintain higher occupancy rates, and potentially preserve or increase property value in the long run. Conclusion: In conclusion, I strongly believe that your refusal to allow sublease is unreasonable given the stability and legality of my request. By accommodating my situation, we can both benefit economically and uphold the harmonious landlord-tenant relationship for which Pomona is known. I kindly request that you reconsider your decision in light of the points raised in this letter. I am open to further discussions to address any concerns you may have.
