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.
Title: Anaheim, California Letter from Tenant to Landlord about Unreasonable Refusal to Allow Sublease Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a matter that has arisen between us concerning the subleasing of my rental property located at [property address] in Anaheim, California. Unfortunately, I must express my deep concern over your unreasonable refusal to allow me to sublease the premises. First and foremost, it is vital to understand that my circumstances have changed significantly since initially signing the lease agreement. Due to [explain personal circumstances such as job relocation, financial hardship, or family emergencies], it has become necessary for me to find a suitable subtenant for the property. By subleasing, I seek to mitigate the financial burden I am currently facing without violating the terms of the lease or breaching my contractual obligations. Furthermore, it is crucial to note that the lease agreement we both signed contains no clauses that explicitly prohibit subleasing the property nor restrict the rights of tenants in doing so. As a well-informed tenant, I conducted thorough research before beginning my search for a suitable subtenant. The relevant laws governing rental properties in Anaheim, California, clearly state that landlords can only refuse subletting requests if there are reasonable concerns, such as the prospective subtenant's inability to meet financial obligations or if they pose a risk to property damage or safety. Given the absence of any valid reasons or concerns within the confines of the lease agreement, I am thus perplexed by your refusal to grant my request. Denying the sublease without substantiated cause implies a breach of our agreement and an infringement on my rights as a tenant. In light of this, I kindly request a reconsideration of your decision. I believe it is in your best interest to act reasonably and fairly, taking into account the specific circumstances of my need to sublease. Subleasing will not only ensure the continued payment of rent but also alleviate any potential financial difficulties associated with maintaining the property. If you remain steadfast in your unreasonable refusal, please provide me with a detailed explanation outlining the exact reasons for this denial. Kindly cite any specific provisions of the lease agreement or applicable laws in Anaheim, California, that support your decision. This transparency will allow me to evaluate the situation further and consult with legal counsel if necessary. I genuinely hope we can reach a mutually beneficial resolution regarding this matter. Your prompt attention and fair consideration of my request would be greatly appreciated. I am more than willing to discuss this further and explore potential alternatives that can address both my needs as a tenant and your concerns as a landlord. Thank you for your time, and I await your favorable response.
