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.
Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a matter of great concern regarding the sublease of my rental property at [property address] in Santa Clarita, California. It has come to my attention that you have unreasonably refused to allow me to sublease the premises, which I believe is an unfair decision for several reasons. Firstly, I would like to highlight that subleasing is a common practice in the rental market, and it is recognized as a valuable option for tenants to maximize the use of their rental properties while they may be away or temporarily unable to occupy the premises. Numerous landlord-tenant agreements across Santa Clarita, California, embrace the concept of subleasing, demonstrating it as a legitimate tenant right. Furthermore, as a responsible tenant, I have taken every necessary precaution to ensure that the proposed subtenant meets the same high standards that were required of me during the initial screening process. They have provided references, proof of employment, and undergone a comprehensive background check. By approving the sublease, you can rest assured that the property will continue to be under the care of trustworthy tenants who will meet their obligations. It is also worth mentioning that by refusing to allow subleasing, you are imposing an unnecessary financial burden on me. Due to unexpected circumstances, I find myself in a position where I am unable to fulfill the remaining lease term. Subleasing the property would not only alleviate this financial strain but also ensure that the rental payments are consistently made in a timely manner, without any inconvenience to you. Furthermore, your refusal to allow subleasing not only contradicts industry norms but also diminishes the goodwill and tenant-landlord relationship that we have established. It is in the best interest of both parties to maintain a harmonious and cooperative environment, which can be achieved by acknowledging my right to sublease. In light of the above, I kindly request that you reconsider your decision and permit me to sublease the property. I assure you that all necessary measures have been taken to ensure a hassle-free transition and that I am willing to sign any additional agreements or provide any further information you may require. I hope we can find a mutually beneficial resolution to this matter. Furthermore, I value our landlord-tenant relationship and believe that an open and communicative approach is essential to preserving it. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
