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. Content: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern regarding your recent decision to refuse my request for subleasing the [Apartment/House/Property] located at [Address] in Sterling Heights, Michigan. I believe that your refusal to allow sublease is unreasonable and infringes upon my rights as a tenant. First and foremost, it is essential to highlight that my request for subleasing is not unfounded or capricious. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I have found myself in a position where I am unable to continue residing in the property. However, I am still bound by the terms of the lease agreement and responsible for rent payments. In an attempt to fulfill my obligations and minimize any financial impact on myself, I have actively sought out a suitable subtenant who meets all the necessary criteria. I have taken great care in finding a reliable and trustworthy individual who is more than willing to assume both the financial and legal responsibilities associated with the tenancy. They have provided all the required documentation, including proof of income, references, and even undergone a thorough background check. Considering the subtenant's qualifications and credentials, it is evident that they meet the standard set for tenants in the initial lease agreement. Your blanket denial of my request based on the grounds that you do not permit subleasing within your properties is both unreasonable and unfair. While I understand that you have the authority to make certain decisions regarding tenancy, it is crucial to recognize that denying a reasonable request like mine contradicts the principles of a landlord-tenant relationship based on mutual respect and understanding. Moreover, it is essential to emphasize that my request for subleasing adheres to all legal requirements and regulations set forth by the state of Michigan, as well as the provisions stated in our lease agreement. As a responsible tenant, I have meticulously reviewed the terms and conditions outlined in the lease agreement, specifically the section regarding subleasing, which does not explicitly prevent subletting with your prior consent. By refusing my reasonable request for sublease, you are effectively limiting my options and forcing me into an unfortunate position where I may be compelled to break the lease prematurely, thus breaching the agreement. It is my understanding that our landlord-tenant relationship should be one built on open communication, fairness, and cooperation. Therefore, I kindly request that you reconsider your decision and permit the sublease as originally proposed. Should you have any concerns or reservations regarding this matter, I am more than willing to address them and provide any additional information or documentation that you may require. I sincerely hope that we can come to a mutually satisfactory resolution, allowing for a smooth transition of tenancy without causing any undue hardship on either party. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to your prompt response.
