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: Expressing Concerns Regarding Landlord's Unreasonable Refusal to Allow Sublease Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a matter of great concern regarding your refusal to allow me to sublease my rental unit located at [rental address] in Newark, New Jersey. I believe that your decision is unreasonable, and I would like to provide a detailed explanation outlining the reasons why I disagree with your stance. First and foremost, it is essential to note that subleasing is a common practice in the rental market, allowing tenants to address various personal circumstances, such as job relocation, temporary absence, or financial difficulties. The ability to sublease not only benefits tenants but also assists landlords by ensuring the uninterrupted occupancy of their properties, maintaining consistent rental income, and avoiding unnecessary vacancy periods. In my case, I have encountered a situation that necessitates my need to sublease the rental unit. [Provide a detailed explanation of the specific reasons necessitating the sublease. Be honest and include relevant dates, such as employment relocation, medical emergencies, educational pursuits, or financial difficulties.] Furthermore, it is crucial to emphasize that I have taken the necessary steps to ensure a smooth subleasing process by adhering to all the pertinent clauses stated in the lease agreement that describe the process for subletting. I have provided you with a comprehensive sublease proposal, including all relevant information about the prospective subtenant, such as their background, credit checks, employment verification, and references. By doing so, I have demonstrated my commitment to ensuring the responsible and reliable occupancy of the rental unit. Moreover, it is important to acknowledge that, as the original tenant, I bear full responsibility for any potential damages or breaches of contractual obligations by the subtenant. I am willing to sign a legally binding agreement with you, assuming full liability for any potential issues that may arise during the sublease term.
