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: Concerns Regarding Landlord's Unreasonable Refusal to Allow Sublease in Everett, Washington Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to address a matter that has been causing me great distress and I believe requires immediate attention. It regards your refusal to grant permission for subleasing the property located at [address] in Everett, Washington, which I find to be unjustified and unreasonable. Firstly, let me express my sincere appreciation for your cooperation and support during my tenure as a tenant in your property. However, due to unavoidable circumstances, I am now compelled to seek a temporary arrangement that involves subleasing the property to another responsible party. This decision, which is in line with the terms and conditions outlined in our lease agreement, has been taken after careful consideration and diligent planning. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the inability for me to sublease the property would not only place me in a difficult financial situation but also result in the property remaining unoccupied for an extended period. Considering the current challenging economic climate, it is crucial for both the tenant and the landlord to collaborate and find mutually beneficial solutions that ensure the property's optimal utilization and upkeep. Furthermore, I have taken extensive measures to ensure a seamless transition for any potential subtenants. Thorough background checks and careful vetting processes have been conducted to ensure that only responsible and trustworthy individuals are considered for subleasing. Additionally, by subleasing, I would continue to assume full responsibility as the main tenant and maintain vigilance in adhering to all lease obligations, ensuring the property's preservation and any issues are promptly resolved. It is important to emphasize that permitting subleasing within the bounds of the lease agreement is a common practice among landlords and tenants, as it allows for greater flexibility and protects both parties' interests. By denying this request, you are putting yourself at odds with fair and reasonable practices that promote a healthy landlord-tenant relationship. In light of the aforementioned reasons, I kindly request you to reconsider your decision and grant permission for subleasing the property. Doing so will not only alleviate my financial hardships but also contribute to the responsible utilization and maintenance of the property during my temporary absence.
