A Boston Massachusetts Letter from Landlord to Tenant that Sublease granted — Rent Paid by Subtenant, but Tenant Still Liable for Rent and Damages serves as a formal notice from the landlord to the tenant regarding the terms of a sublease agreement. This letter outlines the specific conditions under which the tenant remains liable for their rent and potential damages, even if the subtenant has paid their share. The main purpose of this letter is to inform the tenant that despite the existence of a sublease agreement and the subtenant's payment of rent, the tenant still holds primary responsibility and is legally obligated to honor their own lease agreement with the landlord. This means that they must continue paying their rent and remain liable for any damages caused to the rental property. To effectively declare this, the letter should clearly state the following key information: 1. Introduction: Begin the letter by addressing the tenant and clearly identifying the landlord or property management company. 2. Reference to sublease agreement: State the date and details of the sublease agreement, including the names of all parties involved, the duration of the sublease, and any pertinent terms or conditions. 3. Recognition of rent payment by subtenant: Acknowledge that the subtenant has paid their portion of the rent and confirm the amount received. 4. Explanation of the tenant's continued responsibility: Emphasize that the tenant's personal lease agreement with the landlord remains valid and enforceable. Highlight that this sublease arrangement does not release the tenant from their rent obligations or any damages caused by them or the subtenant. 5. Lien on security deposit: Remind the tenant that the security deposit held by the landlord can be used to cover unpaid rent or damages caused by the tenant or the subtenant. 6. Legislative references: Include relevant sections from the Massachusetts General Laws, such as the State's landlord-tenant laws or specific statute sections relating to subleasing. 7. Contact information and deadline: Provide the landlord's contact details, so the tenant can reach out with any questions or concerns. Specify a deadline by which the tenant must acknowledge and respond to the letter. It is worth noting that different variations of this letter may be named based on the specifics of the situation. Some possible variations include: a) "Boston Massachusetts Letter from Landlord to Tenant that Sublease granted — Tenant Remains Liable for Rent and Damages" b) "Boston Massachusetts Letter from Landlord to Tenant that Sublease granted — Tenant's Rent Obligations despite Sublease" c) "Boston Massachusetts Letter from Landlord to Tenant regarding Sublease Agreement — Tenant Still Responsible for Rent and Damages".
