This is a letter from a tenant requesting permission to sub-lease the premises to the person(s) identified below in the letter. Tenant acknowledges that he/she will remain liable on the lease if the sub-lessee defaults unless the landlord decides to release the tenant from liability.
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.
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: Request for Permission to Sublease Property in Edinburg, Texas Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to discuss an important matter regarding my current lease agreement at [Property Address] in Edinburg, Texas. After careful consideration, I have identified the need to sublease the property for the remaining duration of the lease term. First and foremost, I would like to express my utmost gratitude for providing me with a comfortable and secure living space throughout my tenancy. The premises have been well-maintained, and your prompt attention to any issues or concerns has been greatly appreciated. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, I find myself requiring a temporary change in my living arrangements. As such, I believe that subleasing the property would be the best solution, ensuring the continuation of rent payments while allowing another responsible tenant to occupy the premises. In accordance with the terms and conditions outlined in my lease agreement, which I have carefully reviewed, I am aware that seeking your permission to sublease is a necessary step. This letter serves as my formal request for approval to sublease the said property. To streamline the process, I have found a suitable subtenant, [Subtenant's Name], who is a reliable individual with a stable job and positive rental history. My subtenant has expressed a genuine interest in leasing the property for the remaining duration of my lease term, which ends on [Lease Expiration Date]. I respectfully request that you review the attached sublease agreement, which clearly outlines the responsibilities of the subtenant, including the payment of rent and adherence to the terms and conditions set forth in the original lease agreement. I have taken great care to ensure that the sublease agreement is fair and upholds the standards of our current lease agreement. Should you grant permission for me to sublease the property, I would be more than willing to assist with any necessary paperwork, including drafting an addendum to the original lease agreement, ensuring that all parties involved are well-informed and protected legally. I understand that subleasing is subject to your approval and that you may request additional information from me or the potential subtenant. I assure you that all necessary measures will be taken to ensure a seamless transition for both the subtenant and yourself as the landlord. Your prompt attention and response to this request would be greatly appreciated. If you have any concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at [Your Phone Number] or [Your Email Address]. I am available to discuss this matter further, should you deem it necessary. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Your assistance in this situation is highly valued.
