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.
Subject: Addressing the Unreasonable Refusal of Sublease by [Landlord's Name] Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to discuss a matter that has recently emerged regarding our lease agreement for [address]. It pertains to your refusal to grant permission for subleasing the property, which I believe is unreasonable given the circumstances. As tenants, we are fully aware of our responsibilities outlined in the lease agreement. In adherence to these terms, we understand the importance of obtaining your approval for any subletting arrangements. It is essential to highlight that our request for subleasing is neither a disregard for our leasing obligations nor a breach of trust. Rather, it stems from genuine circumstances beyond our control, which have necessitated exploring this alternative. [Optional: Specify the circumstances or reasons due to which subleasing becomes necessary, e.g., job transfer, medical reasons, financial constraints, family matters, etc.] Recognizing that the landlord's consent is vital, we embarked on the due process of finding a suitable subtenant. Taking into consideration your expectations, we have ensured that potential subtenants maintain a reliable financial record, possess reputable references, and comply with all the standards laid out in the original lease agreement. Our intention is not to inconvenience or impede any process but to maintain clear transparency and uphold the property's integrity. Upon submitting our sublease application, we were disheartened to receive an immediate denial. This decision left us in a state of confusion and distress, especially since we have been diligent and responsible tenants throughout our association. Consequently, we have sought legal advice to better understand our rights and responsibilities in this matter. Regarding the sublease specifically, I would like to bring to your attention the following pertinent points: 1. Preservation of Property Value: A responsible subtenant who meets the same criteria as outlined in the lease will ensure the property's maintenance and integrity, ultimately benefiting both parties involved. 2. Mitigating Financial Impact: Engaging in a sublease arrangement allows us, as tenants, to alleviate potential financial burdens, given the circumstances that warrant our request. This would further guarantee prompt and timely rent payments. 3. Minimizing Vacancy Period: By approving our sublease request, the property will remain occupied, thereby reducing the potential loss incurred during a vacant period. 4. Good Tenant-Landlord Relationship: It is crucial to emphasize that our intention is to uphold a respectful and considerate tenant-landlord relationship. In seeking an amicable resolution to our present situation, we hope to avoid any undesirable consequences such as lease termination or legal actions. [Optional: If applicable, provide any previously mentioned alternatives to subleasing that you have explored, such as lease termination, temporary relocation, or other feasible solutions.] In light of the points mentioned above, we kindly request a reconsideration of your decision to refuse sublease. We believe our proactive approach, responsible behavior, and genuine need for subleasing justify this appeal. By appreciating and understanding our situation, we hope you will find it reasonable to grant us permission and alleviate the undue stress we are currently experiencing. We genuinely value our tenancy in this property and the harmonious relationship we have cultivated so far. We firmly believe that an equitable resolution can be reached, reflecting our shared interests. Therefore, we kindly request a prompt response from your end to initiate a constructive conversation to address this matter further. Thank you for your attention to this matter. We eagerly await your favorable response to resolve this situation amicably, enabling us to proceed with the necessary sublease arrangements respectfully and responsibly.
