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. Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my concern regarding your recent refusal to allow me to sublease my apartment [Apartment Number] located at [Address] in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I believe your decision is unreasonable and does not align with the terms of our lease agreement. Firstly, I would like to draw your attention to Section [Section Number] of our lease agreement, which clearly states that subleasing is permitted with prior written consent from the landlord. In compliance with this provision, I submitted a formal request for sublease on [Date]. However, I was surprised and disappointed to receive your rejection without any valid justification. This contradicts our agreed-upon terms and disrupts my ability to fulfill my obligations as a tenant. Furthermore, it is important to note that my sublease candidate is a highly responsible individual who has provided all the necessary documentation to demonstrate their ability to cover the rent and uphold the terms of our lease. They are fully aware of our building's rules and regulations and have expressed their commitment to maintaining a peaceful and tidy living environment. In light of these circumstances, I kindly request that you reconsider your decision. I understand that as the landlord, you have an obligation to protect your property and ensure tenant compliance. However, denying a reasonable sublease request, especially when the lease agreement allows for it, puts an unnecessary burden on me as a tenant. It also limits my flexibility and options, which is particularly vital in a dynamic city like Ann Arbor. To further support my argument, I have conducted thorough research on Michigan's landlord-tenant laws and found that prohibiting subleasing without reasonable grounds may be regarded as an unfair practice. By denying a sublease request without valid justification, you may be breaching the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, which is an essential element of every lease agreement. In light of the above, I kindly request a prompt response regarding the reconsideration of your decision. I am confident that we can reach a reasonable resolution that benefits both parties involved. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.
