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: Centennial Colorado Letter from Tenant to Landlord about Landlord's Unreasonable Refusal to Allow Sublease Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to discuss a matter of concern that has recently arisen regarding your decision to refuse my request for subleasing my apartment at [Apartment Address] in Centennial, Colorado. Explanation of Sublease: As per the terms of the lease agreement signed between us, I understand that seeking your permission for a sublease is required. A sublease would allow me to temporarily transfer the rights and responsibilities of the rental property to a subtenant, while I am away for a specified period. This arrangement would not only ensure that the rental obligations are met, but would also provide me with some financial relief. Unreasonable Refusal: Despite my genuine need for a sublease and my agreement to fulfill all the necessary requirements and conditions as outlined in our lease agreement, I was taken aback by your abrupt and unreasonable refusal to grant permission for subleasing. This decision jeopardizes my best interests as a tenant and disregards the spirit of cooperation that should exist between a landlord and tenant. Considerations for Sublease: I would like to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the advantageous aspects associated with allowing a sublease: 1. Financial Security: Allowing subleasing would ensure consistent rent payments during my absence, as the subtenant assumes the financial responsibility. This mitigates the risk of any rent arrears or late payments, which could occur in case of my extended leave. 2. Property Safety and Upkeep: I assure you that I will diligently vet potential subtenants to ensure they meet all the screening criteria defined by our lease agreement. The subtenant would be responsible for maintaining the property's condition, ensuring it remains in the same state as when they moved in. 3. Prompt Maintenance: In the unlikely event of any maintenance or repair needs, I will ensure that the subtenant reports any issues promptly to me or the property management, guaranteeing swift action and necessary upkeep. 4. Careful Selection: I am committed to finding a responsible subtenant who will respect the property, follow all rules and regulations, and be a reliable member of the community. Their conduct will be under my close supervision during my absence. Alternate Types of Letters: 1. Centennial Colorado Letter from Tenant to Landlord Requesting Negotiation of Sublease Terms: In this letter, the tenant respectfully requests a meeting or discussion with the landlord to negotiate any necessary terms or conditions related to the sublease agreement. 2. Centennial Colorado Letter from Tenant to Landlord Seeking Justification for Refusal to Allow Sublease: This letter aims to express the tenant's concerns and request a clear and reasonable explanation from the landlord for their refusal to allow subleasing. 3. Centennial Colorado Letter from Tenant to Landlord Addressing Violation of Tenant Rights due to Unjustified refusal of Sublease: This more assertive letter highlights potential violation of tenant rights due to an unjustified refusal by the landlord and may contain references to relevant landlord-tenant laws and regulations in Centennial, Colorado. Conclusion: Given the potential benefits outlined above, I kindly request that you reconsider your denial of my sublease request. I am open to discussing any concerns you may have in this matter and propose a mutually beneficial arrangement that prioritizes both our interests and responsibilities as outlined in our lease agreement. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I eagerly await your prompt response.
