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: Urgent Matter: Appeal to Reconsider Unreasonable Refusal of Sublease Request Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. Before I continue, I'd like to state that I value and appreciate the opportunity to reside in [Property Address] as a tenant under your management. However, I am writing this letter to express my deep concern regarding your recent refusal to allow subleasing, which I believe is unreasonable given the circumstances. As you are aware, unforeseen circumstances have arisen, requiring me to temporarily relocate due to [provide a valid reason, such as medical treatment, job transfer, or family emergency]. In light of this situation, subleasing the premises has become an essential solution to ensure the continuity of my lease agreement while also fulfilling my financial responsibilities towards the property. Upon thorough review of the lease agreement we mutually agreed upon, I did not find any explicit clause prohibiting subleasing, nor any provision that designates subleasing as an unreasonable request. Considering the fair and competitive rental market in Mesquite Texas, it is relatively common for tenants to seek subletters to mitigate their financial obligations responsibly when circumstances beyond their control necessitate a temporary absence. Allow me to present compelling reasons for your reconsideration: 1. Financial Responsibility: By subleasing the property, I will continue to fulfill my financial obligations until the end of my lease term. The prospective sublessee has been carefully screened and meets all criteria outlined within the lease agreement, ensuring their ability to comply with the tenancy requirements. 2. Property Preservation: Selecting a responsible sublessee ensures the property remains well-maintained and cared for during my temporary absence. I am more than willing to dedicate additional effort to facilitate a smooth transition by offering assistance with the move-in process and ensuring adherence to all property rules and agreements. 3. Increased Demand: By prohibiting subleasing, you may inadvertently place yourself at a disadvantage in the rental market. Mesquite Texas experiences a consistently high demand for rental properties, and prospective tenants often seek a flexible leasing arrangement that accommodates their changing needs. 4. Good Tenant Record: Throughout my tenancy, I have consistently adhered to all policies, promptly paid rent, maintained a clean and respectful living environment, and cooperated fully with all property management requirements. My record should provide reassurance that the sublessee will also maintain these standards. In light of these reasons, I kindly request you to reconsider your decision and grant permission for subleasing the property for the duration specified in the sublease agreement. I am open to negotiation and willing to discuss any additional terms or conditions you may propose to ensure your continued confidence in this arrangement. I believe reaching an agreement that can accommodate both parties' needs is not only reasonable but also demonstrates a cooperative and flexible approach when faced with challenging circumstances. Furthermore, I kindly request that you respond to this urgent matter within [reasonable time frame] to allow ample opportunity for necessary arrangements to be made accordingly. Should you require any further information or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me via the provided contact details. Thank you for your understanding and prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to resolving this issue amicably and maintaining a positive tenant-landlord relationship.
