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: Orange Florida Letter from Tenant to Landlord about Landlord's Refusal to Allow Sublease is Unreasonable Keywords: Orange Florida, letter, tenant, landlord, refusal, sublease, unreasonable Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern about your recent decision to refuse my request to sublease my rental unit located in Orange, Florida. I believe that your decision is unreasonable and infringes upon my rights as a tenant. This letter aims to provide a detailed explanation of why such refusal is unjustified and request a reconsideration of your decision. Body: 1. Importance of Subleasing: — Subleasing is a common practice that allows tenants to temporarily transfer their lease obligations to another party, ensuring the property remains occupied and that rent payments are uninterrupted. — It provides flexibility for tenants who may be facing unforeseen circumstances, such as relocating for work or personal reasons, without breaching their lease agreement. 2. Compliance with Lease Agreement: — I have thoroughly reviewed my lease agreement, and it does not explicitly mention any restrictions or prohibitions regarding subleasing. — As a tenant, I have fulfilled all my responsibilities and obligations under the lease, making sure that the property and its surrounding areas are well-maintained and payments are made on time. — By refusing my reasonable request to sublease, you are deviating from the lease agreement terms and unnecessarily burdening me with the financial and logistical challenges associated with terminating the lease prematurely. 3. Mitigating Risks and Security Concerns: — I understand your concerns about ensuring responsible and reliable occupants in the property. However, subleasing does not imply that I will disregard the well-being of the property or its security. — I am committed to carefully screening potential subtenants, conducting background checks, and obtaining necessary documentation to ensure the sublease is in the best interest of all parties involved. — Moreover, I am prepared to maintain my role as the primary tenant, taking responsibility for any damages caused by subtenants and ensuring adherence to all legal and safety requirements. 4. Local Laws and Regulations: — It is crucial to note that Orange, Florida does not impose any specific regulations or legal restrictions on subleasing. As such, your refusal cannot be justified based on any local statutes or ordinances. — Denying my request without valid grounds may be deemed a violation of tenant rights, as it restricts my legal entitlement to reasonable enjoyment of the property.

I believe that your refusal is unreasonable and does not align with our lease agreement or local laws.
