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: Davenport Iowa Letter from Tenant to Landlord — Unreasonable Refusal for Sublease Authorization Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a matter of great concern regarding your recent denial for my request to sublease my rental unit in Davenport, Iowa. I believe your decision is unreasonable and warrants closer examination. First and foremost, I would like to bring your attention to the terms outlined in our lease agreement. [If there are specific terms relevant to subleasing, mention them here]. According to the provision(s) mentioned, I have duly fulfilled all the necessary requirements and provided you with the required notice period. By refusing to allow subleasing without providing valid justification, you appear to be in violation of our agreed-upon contractual stipulations. Furthermore, it is important to note that my request for subleasing is in full compliance with the laws and regulations governing tenant rights in Davenport, Iowa. [If applicable, mention specific laws or regulations supporting the tenant's right to sublease or reference the relevant sections of the Iowa Code]. As a responsible and law-abiding tenant, I kindly request that you reconsider your decision in light of these legal considerations. In addition to fulfilling contractual obligations and legal requirements, it is essential to consider the practicality and fairness of your refusal to permit subleasing. The inability to sublet my rental unit places an unnecessary financial burden on me as a tenant. By subletting, I would have the opportunity to mitigate some, if not all, of my financial obligations during any absence I may encounter due to work, personal, or family reasons. This arrangement would ensure uninterrupted rent payments and compliance with financial responsibilities associated with the tenancy agreement. Moreover, denying the subletting request without a compelling reason may also lead to an unnecessary vacancy of the rental unit. This ultimately creates inconvenience for both parties involved and adds financial strain to all concerned. By permitting subletting, you can maintain a consistent flow of rental income while avoiding the costs associated with advertising for new tenants or potential vacancies. In light of the above, I respectfully request a reconsideration of your decision to deny my sublease request. I have an interested and suitable candidate who has undergone a thorough screening process to ensure their reliability and ability to uphold the conditions set forth in our lease agreement. Please respond to this letter within [provide a reasonable timeframe — typically allowing at least 10 business days] to discuss this matter further and arrive at a suitable resolution. Should you choose to uphold your refusal, kindly provide a detailed and valid explanation to justify your decision in accordance with the terms of our lease agreement and local law. I believe that open communication and finding a mutually beneficial solution is in the best interest of both parties involved. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to addressing this concern cooperatively and professionally.
