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.
Title: Lewisville Texas Letter from Tenant to Landlord About Landlord's Unreasonable Refusal to Allow Sublease Keywords: Lewisville Texas, tenant, landlord, sublease, refusal, unreasonable Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a pressing matter regarding your recent refusal to allow me to sublease my rental unit located at [property address] in Lewisville, Texas. Upon careful consideration, I believe your decision is unjustifiable and goes against both my rights as a responsible tenant and our lease agreement. First and foremost, I would like to clarify that the option to sublease is explicitly stated as an available remedy in our lease agreement, signed by both parties on [date]. Section [section number] clearly outlines the conditions under which I may seek a qualified sublessee to temporarily occupy the premises during my absence for personal and legitimate reasons. Lewisville is a vibrant community, and subletting is not an uncommon practice here, especially for tenants like myself who occasionally face job relocations, family emergencies, or unforeseen circumstances. It is unfair and inconsistent with the general attitude towards subleasing in the area for you to categorically deny my request without reasonable justification. Furthermore, denying my sublease request disregards my rights as a tenant and contravenes the principles of fair and equitable treatment. As long as the proposed sublessee meets the requirements specified in the lease agreement, including a comprehensive vetting process and providing sufficient references, I find it difficult to understand your insistence on refusal. I want to assure you that I have already taken all necessary precautions to ensure that only the most responsible and trustworthy individual occupies the unit during my absence. This includes conducting a thorough background check, collecting a security deposit, and outlining the terms and conditions of the sublease agreement. Hence, my sublet request poses no added risk to you or the property. In light of the above, I respectfully urge you to reconsider your position and grant my sublease request. Denying this request without sound reasoning not only disrupts my personal plans and financial obligations but also infringes on my rights as a tenant. Please bear in mind that taking this matter further may result in legal action, which I believe could be avoided through open communication and adherence to the terms of our lease agreement. I kindly request a prompt response outlining your decision regarding my sublease request. I hope that we can find a mutually agreeable solution that respects both of our interests. Should you require any additional information or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me at the provided phone number or email address. Thank you for your attention and understanding. I look forward to a positive resolution.
