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.
Subject: Waterbury Connecticut Letter from Tenant to Landlord — Unreasonable Refusal to Allow Sublease Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to address a matter of concern that has been causing significant distress for me as your tenant. The purpose of this letter is to express my disappointment with your unreasonable refusal to allow me to sublease my rented premises located in Waterbury, Connecticut. Firstly, I would like to highlight that, as an upstanding tenant who has consistently paid rent on time and maintained the property in excellent condition, I believe I have proven my reliability and responsibility. Due to unforeseen circumstances beyond my control, I find myself with the need to temporarily relocate for a specific duration. This situation makes subleasing a practical solution for both me and any potential subtenant, as it allows me to fulfill my contractual obligations while ensuring the property remains occupied and well-maintained during my absence. It is my understanding that, according to the terms in our lease agreement, subleasing is permitted unless explicitly prohibited or subject to the landlord's written consent. Nowhere in our contract does it state this prohibition, nor did we discuss it during our initial conversations. This is why I find your refusal to grant consent baseless and unreasonable. Furthermore, I have taken several precautions to guarantee that the subleasing arrangement would be handled responsibly and with utmost care. I have searched for potential subtenants who meet the necessary requirements, including a thorough background check, financial stability, and reliable references. By adhering to these strict criteria, I have taken the necessary steps to minimize any potential risks or inconveniences to you as the landlord. Moreover, it is worth noting that allowing subleasing could provide numerous advantages for both parties involved. It ensures that the property remains occupied and generates rental income throughout my absence, relieving any financial burden on my end while preserving your steady revenue stream. Additionally, by temporarily transferring the responsibility of partaking to a trustworthy subtenant, there will be no disruption to the property's upkeep and maintenance. In light of these compelling reasons, I kindly request you reconsider your decision and grant me permission to proceed with the subleasing arrangement. I assure you that I will continue to diligently fulfill all my obligations as stated in our lease agreement, including promptly paying rent and promptly addressing any concerns that may arise during the sublease period. I hope that we can approach this matter in a fair and reasonable manner, putting the best interests of both parties at the forefront. Furthermore, I genuinely believe that allowing me to sublease the property will be beneficial for all parties involved, including you as the landlord. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I kindly request a prompt response outlining your revised position on the matter. Should you have any queries or require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me. I am hopeful that we can find a mutually agreeable resolution to this issue.
