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: Expressing Concern Regarding Landlord's Unreasonable Refusal to Allow Sublease in Fayetteville, North Carolina Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a matter of concern regarding your recent decision to refuse my request for subleasing the [apartment/house] at [address] in Fayetteville, North Carolina. While I understand that you have the authority to approve or deny sublease requests, I believe your decision in this instance is unreasonable and warrants reconsideration. Firstly, I would like to emphasize the importance of subleasing for individuals like myself who are faced with unforeseen circumstances that necessitate the need for a temporary reassignment of tenancy. In my case, [describe personal circumstances, such as new job opportunities, military deployment, or family emergencies]. These circumstances have left me with no option but to seek a responsible and trustworthy sublessee to take over the premises ensuring the consistent payment of rent and maintaining property upkeep. I have taken great care in finding a suitable individual who meets all necessary requirements through a rigorous screening process. [Describe briefly the potential tenant's attributes, reliability, and ability to meet financial obligations]. It is in both our interests to ensure that the subleasing arrangement maintains the same standards of tenant responsibility, with adherence to lease terms and respect for the property. Additionally, according to the Landlord-Tenant laws in North Carolina, specifically under Section 42-45, subleasing is allowed unless prohibited under a specific term within the lease agreement. However, upon reviewing our lease agreement, there are no clauses that directly prohibit subleasing. Therefore, disallowing the request without any justifiable cause seems inconsistent with our legal rights as tenants. Furthermore, considering the current state of the rental market, finding qualified and reliable tenants can be challenging, leading to potential vacancies and loss of income for property owners. By permitting me to sublease, your property will remain occupied, and you will continue to receive consistent monthly rent payments, ensuring steady income flow. I kindly request that you reconsider your decision and grant permission for the subleasing request, given the aforementioned reasons. It is my firm belief that approving this arrangement is both reasonable and mutually beneficial for all parties involved. If you still have concerns, I am more than willing to discuss the matter further and address any specific issues you may have. I invite you to reach out to me at [your contact information] at your earliest convenience to schedule a meeting or phone call. Thank you for your attention and understanding regarding this matter.
