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: Hillsborough Florida Letter from Tenant to Landlord — Sublease Dispute due to Unreasonable Refusal Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a concerning matter regarding your recent refusal to allow me to sublease my apartment at [address]. I believe that your decision is unreasonable, and I would like to discuss the factors involved in the hope of finding a mutually agreeable resolution. Firstly, it is important to note that as a tenant, I have fully complied with all the terms and conditions outlined in the lease agreement. This includes ensuring timely payment of rent, responsible maintenance of the property, and adhering to all rules and regulations set forth by the homeowners' association. Therefore, I see no valid justification for your refusal to entertain my request to sublease the premises. Allow me to clarify the situation that led me to explore subleasing my apartment. Due to unforeseen circumstances such as a job transfer to another city, financial constraints, or personal emergencies, tenants may require temporary accommodations elsewhere while still fulfilling their contractual obligations. Subleasing provides a practical solution to such dilemmas, wherein the tenant can transfer the lease to a responsible sublessee for the remainder of the lease term. It is essential to note that by subleasing, I am not in any way attempting to absolve myself of my responsibilities as a tenant. Rather, I am actively seeking a trustworthy and suitable individual who meets your approval to take over the lease and continue the tenancy in a manner consistent with the original agreement. Moreover, Hillsborough County Regulations and the State of Florida generally recognize the right of tenants to sublease, unless explicitly restricted by the lease agreement. Upon reviewing our lease carefully, I have found no such clause prohibiting subleasing. Therefore, it appears that your refusal to allow subleasing is not only unreasonable but also potentially in violation of applicable laws and regulations. I kindly request that you reconsider your decision and demonstrate a fair and rational approach to this matter. If there are specific concerns or reservations you have regarding subleasing, I am more than willing to address them accordingly. I will ensure that any potential sublessee abides by all the terms and conditions outlined in the original lease, as well as any additional requirements you may deem necessary. In the event that we are unable to reach a resolution, I may have no choice but to seek legal advice and pursue my rights as a tenant under Florida law. However, I strongly believe that this issue can be resolved amicably, avoiding unnecessary expenses and conflicts. I request a prompt response from you to initiate a constructive dialogue regarding this matter. Please consider the potential benefits and reasons behind my sublease request, and let us work towards a fair and reasonable solution. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to discussing it further and finding a mutually satisfactory outcome.
