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. Subject: Manchester, New Hampshire: Tenant's Letter to Landlord Addressing Unreasonable Refusal to Allow Sublease Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns and disappointment regarding your refusal to permit subleasing of my rented residence at [property address] in Manchester, New Hampshire. As a tenant, I believe it is important to address this issue, as your decision prevents me from exercising my rights as outlined in the lease agreement. Firstly, I would like to emphasize that subleasing is a widespread practice that allows tenants to temporarily transfer their lease obligations to a third party. It is often utilized in situations such as extended vacations, job relocations, or unexpected circumstances. The inclusion of subletting clauses in rental agreements accommodates such situations and demonstrates an understanding of the changing circumstances tenants may encounter during their lease term. With my request to sublet the property, I followed all necessary procedures by providing you with a written notice well in advance, along with the proposed sublessee's information, including their background details, employment, and rental references. I have diligently completed my due diligence to ensure a responsible individual takes over my lease obligations, protecting the property's integrity and your interests as the landlord. Despite my efforts, your refusal to allow subleasing comes as a surprise and raises concern. Denying my legitimate request, especially when it complies with the terms outlined in the lease agreement, appears unreasonable and unjustified. As a tenant, I am well within my rights to request subleasing, provided that all necessary requirements are met, which I can assure you they have been. It is crucial to address the reasons behind your refusal. If you have any specific concerns or reservations regarding the proposed sublessee, I kindly request that you provide me with detailed explanations so that we can work towards addressing them. Open communication and collaboration are essential in resolving this matter. Furthermore, I would like to draw your attention to the potential repercussions of an unreasonable refusal to allow subleasing. By denying this legitimate request, you force me into a difficult situation where I am left responsible for the full remaining lease term, despite having viable options to transfer the lease to a responsible individual. This not only places unnecessary financial burden on me but also creates an imbalance in the tenant-landlord relationship, whereby my rights as a tenant are compromised. In light of the aforementioned concerns, I kindly request that you reconsider your decision on refusing subleasing. I believe it is in both parties' best interests to find a mutually beneficial resolution. Allowing subleasing will not only alleviate my financial obligations during the period in question but also maintain tenant satisfaction and ensure adherence to the lease agreement. I kindly request a prompt response detailing your reconsideration or providing substantial justifications for your position. Your cooperation in resolving this matter amicably and in accordance with the lease agreement will be greatly appreciated. I am confident that together, we can find a reasonable solution that takes into account the interests of both parties involved. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response.
