The terms sublet and sublease are often used synonymously, but they have very different meanings. The gist is that a sublet occurs when you find a new renter for the property who will sign a new lease with the landlord, while a sublease occupies the space without signing a lease directly with the landlord.
In Arizona, tenants who wish to sublet must have permission, either explicitly stated in the lease or obtained from the landlord. Without this, subtenants in Arizona could face legal issues. Communication between the sublessor and subtenant is key.
In Arizona, a renter cannot sublease without the landlord's consent.
