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: Challenging the Unreasonable Refusal of Sublease by Riverside, California Landlord: A Tenant's Perspective Keywords: Riverside California, letter, tenant, landlord, refusal, sublease, unreasonable Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a matter of significant concern that has recently arisen regarding your refusal to allow sublease for my rented property in Riverside, California. I believe this decision is unreasonable and hinders my rights as a responsible tenant. This letter seeks to express my concerns and present a strong case in favor of allowing sublease, highlighting the potential benefits for all parties involved. 1. Legal Analysis of Sublease Rights: As a tenant, I understand that subleasing falls within my rights under California's tenant-landlord law (California Civil Code Section 1951.4). It acknowledges that tenants have the option to sublease when certain conditions are met, which includes obtaining the landlord's consent, upon reasonable grounds. However, I firmly believe that your refusal to allow sublease is without reasonable justification, and I would like to bring this matter to your attention. 2. Justification for Sublease Approval: a) Mitigation of Financial Burden: By subleasing the premises, I aim to mitigate my financial burden during a period of unforeseen personal circumstances. This will allow me to fulfill my financial obligations as a tenant, ensuring the timely payment of rent and expenses without any disruption. b) Maintaining Property Occupancy: Subleasing offers a solution that maintains the occupancy of the property, ensuring it remains occupied and well-maintained in my absence. This will prevent any potential loss of income for you, the landlord, while also ensuring the property remains in good condition. c) Verification of Potential Sublessee: I assure you that I will implement a strict screening process to find a suitable sublessee who is responsible and financially reliable. I remain committed to finding a sublessee who meets all the necessary requirements and exhibits a strong background, both financially and personally, thus ensuring the property remains in safe hands. 3. Consideration of Landlord's Apprehensions: In order to address any concerns or apprehensions you may have, I am open to discussing any necessary clauses or conditions to be included in the sublease agreement. This ensures that both parties are protected and the property remains well-maintained throughout the sublease term. Conclusion: In conclusion, I firmly believe that your refusal to allow sublease for my rented property in Riverside, California is unreasonable given the circumstances and the benefits it may bring to all involved parties. I kindly request you reconsider your decision based on the outlined justifications and the legal tenant-landlord obligations, which allow for subleasing under reasonable circumstances. I am open to further discussions and negotiation to reach a mutually beneficial resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
