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 address a matter of concern regarding your recent refusal to allow me to sublease my rental unit located at [Rental Unit Address] in Bridgeport, Connecticut. I appreciate the privilege of leasing your property and thus believe it is important to communicate openly to immediately resolve this issue. First and foremost, as a responsible tenant, I value our landlord-tenant relationship and aim to act within the stipulations outlined in the lease agreement. After careful consideration of my personal circumstances, I have found it necessary to secure a suitable subtenant to temporarily occupy the premises during my absence. Unfortunately, your unwarranted refusal to approve this sublease is causing me undue hardship. Whilst acknowledging your prerogative as the property owner, I would like to highlight that your refusal is unreasonable for several valid reasons: 1. Financial Stability: The lease agreement clearly states that tenants are responsible for rental payments. By seeking a sublease, I am ensuring the continuity of rent payment and guaranteeing the financial stability of this property. 2. Careful Tenant Selection: In my search for a subtenant, I have diligently screened and interviewed potential candidates, ensuring that only responsible individuals who meet the same criteria I did are considered for the sublease. Should you wish, I am more than happy to provide you with their details for evaluation. 3. Property Preservation: With a sublease, the property will be occupied and maintained by a responsible party at all times, reducing the risk of any potential damage or vandalism. Additionally, this will help mitigate the possibility of the unit remaining vacant, thus safeguarding its security. 4.

Your refusal undermines my efforts to follow the proper legal procedures associated with subletting. 5.

I have every intention of returning to the property once my temporary arrangements come to an end. In light of these reasons, I kindly request that you reconsider your decision and grant me permission for the proposed sublease. I trust that we can find a mutually beneficial solution that upholds the interests of both parties involved. If you still have concerns or reservations regarding the sublease, I am more than willing to discuss them further and address any apprehensions you might have. This matter is of utmost importance to me, and I believe that open dialogue and cooperation can help us reach a fair resolution. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
