Evicting a subtenant involves providing proper notice, depending on the lease terms or rental agreement. If a subtenant refuses to leave, the primary tenant might need to pursue legal action, following the procedure outlined by New York's eviction laws.
(a) A tenant renting a residence pursuant to an existing lease in a dwelling having four or more residential units shall have the right to sublease his premises subject to the written consent of the landlord in advance of the subletting. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
You are entitled to request permission to sublet from the owner, and the owner may not unreasonably refuse such permission. However, you must inform the owner by certified mail, return receipt requested, no less than 30 days prior to the proposed subletting.
A New York sublease agreement is a rental contract between a current tenant (under lease with the landlord) and a new tenant (sublessee) to re-rent the same property. For the duration of the sublease, the original tenant acts as landlord to the new sublessee.
If you have a lease for a set term, like one year, you can sublet with or without your landlord's permission, unless they prohibit this in the written lease.
While the terms "subletting" and "subleasing" are often used interchangeably, there is a critical difference between the two. In a sublet, the new tenant has a contract directly with the landlord while in a sublease, the new tenant has a contract with the original tenant and no contract with the landlord.
In New York City, the term 'short-term rental' refers to renting for any period shorter than 30 days. There are rules, laws and consequences governing short-term rentals that are enforceable today.
It's not that easy. Tons of people sublet. Often you have to throw in some kind of deal as incentive. I've noticed people are also more likely to find someone to sublet if it's only a one or two bedroom place.
