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.
Keywords: Lakewood Colorado, Letter from Tenant, Landlord, Refusal to Allow Sublease, Unreasonable Subject: Request for Reconsideration of Landlord's Unreasonable Refusal to Allow Sublease Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my deep concern and disappointment regarding your decision to refuse my request for subleasing the rental property located at [property address] in Lakewood, Colorado. I firmly believe that your denial is both unjustifiable and unreasonable, and I kindly request you to reconsider your stance on this matter. Firstly, as a responsible tenant who has diligently fulfilled all lease obligations, I have always viewed subleasing as a viable solution to temporarily accommodate any unforeseen circumstances or personal emergencies. By refusing me the right to sublease, you are significantly limiting my options and putting an undue burden on me, both financially and logistically. Additionally, it is worth noting that I have taken great care of your property and have ensured that it remains in impeccable condition throughout my tenancy. I have never caused any disturbances, violated any terms of the lease agreement, or given you any reason to doubt my reliability as a tenant. Therefore, your refusal to allow subleasing appears to be based on unfounded grounds and shows an unfair bias. In accordance with the lease agreement, I have provided you with ample notice, supplying detailed information about the potential sublessees and their contact details. Each individual has been thoroughly vetted, and I can assure you that they are responsible and trustworthy individuals who will treat the property with the same diligence and respect as I have. Moreover, subleasing would not only alleviate any financial hardships I may face during the specified period but also ensure that the property remains occupied and well-maintained, to avoid any potential vacancies or deterioration. This would benefit both parties, as the rental income would continue without interruptions, and the property would be protected from potential damage and vandalism. I kindly urge you to reconsider your decision by taking into account the following points: 1. The sublessees meet all the necessary criteria, ensuring the property remains in good hands. 2. Subleasing would help maintain the rental income, preventing any potential revenue loss during the agreed-upon period. 3. By accommodating the sublease, you demonstrate flexibility, understanding, and a willingness to work with tenants during unforeseen circumstances. 4. My diligent care of the property thus far provides a solid track record of responsible tenancy, minimizing any perceived risks associated with subleasing. In light of the explanations provided above, I kindly request your reconsideration regarding your refusal to permit subleasing. I trust that you will reassess the situation in a fair and reasonable manner, taking into account the facts presented. I look forward to your prompt response, and I sincerely hope we can reach a mutually agreeable resolution. Should you require any additional information or have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
