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: Louisville Kentucky Letter from Tenant to Landlord: Challenging Unreasonable Refusal to Allow Sublease Keywords: Louisville Kentucky, letter, tenant, landlord, refusal, sublease, unreasonable Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns regarding your recent decision to unreasonably deny my request for subleasing my rental property located in Louisville, Kentucky. As a responsible tenant, I believe this decision does not align with the terms and conditions of the lease agreement we have both agreed upon. 1. Louisville Kentucky Letter from Tenant to Landlord about Unreasonable Refusal to Allow Sublease: 1.1 Sublease Refusal Without Reasonable Grounds: I was surprised to receive your response denying my sublease application as it does not seem to be based on any reasonable grounds. The lease agreement explicitly allows subleasing under certain conditions, and my proposed subtenant has met all the necessary requirements and has a solid rental history, ensuring the maintenance of your property, as per the terms of our agreement. 1.2 Failure to Mitigate Financial Hardship: By unreasonably denying my sublease request, you are placing an unnecessary financial burden on me. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I am unable to occupy the premises for the remainder of my lease term. Subleasing would have allowed me to mitigate financial hardship by finding a suitable tenant and, at the same time, ensuring consistent rent payments, which ultimately benefits both parties. 1.3 Lack of Alternative Solutions: I understand that as a landlord, you have reasonable concerns regarding potential tenants. However, it is important to note that I have done extensive research and found a trustworthy subtenant who fully meets the rental criteria outlined in our lease agreement. I kindly request that we reconsider your decision and explore alternative solutions, such as approving the sublease with a thorough application process or allowing me to find a suitable replacement tenant. 2. Louisville Kentucky Letter from Tenant to Landlord about Landlord's Unreasonable Terms: 2.1 Fair Market Rent vs. Unjustified Price Increase: Upon reviewing the terms and conditions you have proposed for a sublease, I am concerned that you are taking advantage of my situation by demanding an unreasonable increase in rent. This breach of fair market standards is not only detrimental to my financial stability but also raises concerns about the ethical behavior as a landlord. 2.2 Unequal Treatment Among Tenants: In reviewing your refusal, I have noticed that you have allowed other tenants within the building to sublease their units without any similar restrictions or price hikes. I am perplexed by this inconsistency and kindly request that you reconsider your decision and treat all tenants equally, as required by the lease agreement. Conclusion: I understand your concerns as a landlord, but it is in both our best interests to find an amicable solution. I expect that we can address this matter promptly and sensibly to avoid any unnecessary escalation. Failure to cooperate in this matter may have legal implications, and I hope it doesn't come to that. I kindly request that you reconsider your decision regarding my sublease request. I am confident that we can find a resolution that benefits both parties involved. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
