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.

I am writing to express my concerns regarding your recent refusal to allow me the opportunity to sublease my rental property at [Rental Property Address] in Modesto, California. I firmly believe that your decision is unreasonable and fails to consider the legitimate reasons and benefits associated with subleasing. In this letter, I aim to elaborately address these concerns and seek an amicable resolution that would be advantageous for both parties involved. Firstly, it is crucial to recognize the significant consequences that arise from your refusal to allow me to sublease. As you know, life can often bring unexpected circumstances, such as a sudden job transfer or a family emergency that necessitate me to temporarily vacate the property. Subleasing would provide me with an opportunity to fulfill my contractual obligations while minimizing any potential financial burdens that may arise from paying double rent. By prohibiting subleasing without justifiable cause, you are placing undue stress on me as a tenant and disregarding the possibility of a fair and mutually beneficial arrangement. However, it is important to note that my intention to sublease does not absolve me of my responsibility as a tenant. I understand that any sublessee must meet the same criteria outlined in the original lease agreement, and I am committed to ensuring that the sublessee complies with all the terms and conditions set forth in that agreement. Furthermore, I am willing to assume full liability and accountability should any issues arise during the sublease period. By providing you with the sublessee's relevant information and screening them appropriately, we can address any concerns you may have, ensuring that we maintain the property's integrity. Under California law [insert relevant code(s)], tenants have the right to sublease unless expressly prohibited by the lease agreement or unless the landlord has a justifiable reason for refusal. It is essential to note that your decision should be based on objective factors rather than a blanket refusal, as it may violate my rights as a tenant. Moreover, a reasonable refusal may only occur if valid concerns regarding potential property damage, criminal records, or detrimental effects on the property's value can be substantiated. I humbly request you to reconsider your position and fairly evaluate the subleasing request based on these objective criteria. If your apprehensions stem from concerns over sublease management, I am more than willing to collaborate and assist in establishing clear guidelines that ensure a smooth sublease process. These guidelines could define the procedures for sublease approval, the criteria for selecting qualified sublessees, and the expectations for communication and reporting. By maintaining open dialogue and transparency, we can collectively establish a framework that protects both our interests while maintaining the property's condition. In conclusion, I respectfully assert that your refusal to allow me to sublease my rental property is unreasonable considering the potential benefits and protections offered by subleasing arrangements. I urge you to reconsider your decision and engage in discussion to find a mutually agreeable solution that respects both parties' rights. If necessary, I would be more than willing to meet with you in person to further discuss this matter and address any concerns you may have. I appreciate your attention to this matter and anticipate a prompt response. Thank you for your understanding.
