This is a letter from a tenant to the landlord concerning the landlord's refusal to permit tenant to sublease the premises to a sub-tenant. Tenant is also informing the landlord of his/her reserving of legal rights and remedies, should the landlord continue to prevent a lease assignment.
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.
Title: Challenging Unreasonable Refusal: Frisco Texas Letter from Tenant to Landlord about Landlord's Refusal to Allow Sublease Keywords: Frisco Texas, Tenant, Landlord, Sublease, Unreasonable Refusal, Sublease Agreement, Rental Property, Lease Agreement, Rental Market Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health. My purpose in contacting you today are to express my concern regarding your recent decision to refuse my request to sublease the rental property located at [property address] in Frisco, Texas. I believe your refusal to allow sublease is unreasonable, and I would like to outline the reasons for my request and address any concerns you may have. 1. Valid Reasons Supporting Sublease: As a tenant, I understand and respect the terms and conditions outlined in our lease agreement. However, unforeseen circumstances have arisen that necessitate my need to sublease the property. These circumstances may include job relocation, financial hardships, or a change in family circumstances. It is essential to recognize that my request is not made lightly but rather out of an honest need for assistance. 2. Promoting Responsible Tenancy: By subleasing the property, I intend to uphold my obligations as an accountable tenant. I will thoroughly screen potential subtenants, carry out background checks, and ensure they meet the necessary criteria to be trustworthy occupants. This thorough process will help maintain the property's integrity and protect your valuable investment. 3. Preserving the Rental Market: As the rental market in Frisco, Texas, continues to thrive, supporting subleasing can offer advantages for both landlords and tenants alike. With a high demand for quality rentals, refusing sublease requests can limit the flexibility available to potential, responsible tenants. By allowing sublease options, you can attract a wider pool of potential occupants and sustain a healthy rental market. 4. Mitigating Economic Hardships: Refusing my sublease request puts an unfair burden solely on me, the tenant. By allowing sublease, you'll be enabling me to offset the existing rental costs while I am away. This approach not only helps me in times of financial difficulty but also aids in maintaining my commitment to fulfilling the lease agreement obligations. Alternative Sublease Agreements: There may be instances where specific sublease arrangements could be considered. For instance, if subleasing is of concern due to potential damages, maintenance issues, or financial risks, we can explore alternative solutions such as adjusting security deposit terms, including additional inspection clauses, or implementing periodic rent checks. These measures can help alleviate your concerns while still enabling me to fulfill my commitments. Conclusion: In conclusion, I urge you to reconsider your decision to refuse my request for sublease based on the reasons stated above, as it is in the best interest of both parties involved. I genuinely value our landlord-tenant relationship and seek an amicable resolution that respects the terms of our lease agreement while acknowledging the changing circumstances I am facing. I kindly request your positive response within a reasonable timeframe. Together, we can find a solution that upholds our respective responsibilities and maintains a mutually beneficial relationship.
