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: Chico California Letter from Tenant to Landlord — Explaining How Landlord's Refusal to Allow Sublease is Unreasonable Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I am writing to discuss a matter of grave concern regarding your refusal to allow a sublease at the [rental property address]. As a responsible tenant, I have thoroughly researched and considered subleasing as a viable solution during my absence. However, I believe your decision to deny this request is unreasonable and unfair, given the following factors: 1. Right to Sublease: According to the California Tenants' Rights Guide, tenants have the right to sublease their rental units, unless specifically prohibited in the lease agreement. Since our lease agreement does not contain such a provision, it is within my rights to pursue subleasing, especially when facing circumstances that necessitate temporary relocation. 2. Mitigating Financial Burden: Due to unforeseen circumstances such as job relocation/study abroad/family emergency, I have found myself in a position where subleasing the property is the most feasible option to avoid incurring unnecessary expenses while honoring my lease agreement. By subleasing, I ensure the continued payment of rent, preventing any financial burden on both parties involved. 3. Suitable Subtenant Candidate: I have taken great care in finding a reliable and trustworthy subtenant candidate who meets the necessary suitability standards as outlined in our lease agreement. The subtenant has gone through a rigorous screening process, which includes credit checks, background checks, and employment verification. This ensures that the property will be well taken care of during my absence. 4. Preservation of Property Value: Engaging in subleasing would not only provide personal relief but would also ensure that the property remains occupied while I am away temporarily. An empty property can become susceptible to vandalism, maintenance issues, or even criminal activities. Subleasing safeguards against these potential risks and helps maintain the overall value and integrity of the property. 5. Cooperation and Transparency: I fully recognize the importance of transparency and cooperation in maintaining a healthy tenant-landlord relationship. I am committed to promptly informing you about any changes or developments regarding the sublease arrangement. Additionally, I am willing to include you in the vetting process and involve you in any discussions with the subtenant to address any concerns you may have. In light of the above factors, I kindly request you reconsider your decision to refuse my sublease request. I believe it is a reasonable and fair solution that benefits both parties involved. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to resolving it amicably.
