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: Pearland Texas Letter from Tenant to Landlord about Landlord's Refusal to Allow Sublease is Unreasonable Introduction: Dear [Landlord's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a matter of great concern regarding your recent refusal to allow the sublease of my rental property in Pearland, Texas. I firmly believe that your decision is not only unreasonable but also goes against the terms of our lease agreement. In this letter, I will present a detailed explanation of why your refusal is unjustified and propose a solution that meets both our needs. 1. Legal Basis: As outlined in our lease agreement, no explicit clause prohibits subleasing the property. Moreover, the Texas Property Code (Chapter 91) does not restrict a tenant's right to sublease unless otherwise stated in the written lease agreement. Therefore, by refusing my request without reasonable cause, you are infringing upon my rights as a tenant. 2. Justification for Subleasing: (a) Financial Hardship: Due to unforeseen circumstances, I find myself in a situation where I am unable to fully occupy the leased premises. Subleasing would help alleviate the financial burden I currently face while ensuring the rent is paid in a timely manner. (b) Relocation for Work: A new job opportunity requires me to move temporarily or permanently from Pearland. Subleasing the property would enable me to fulfill my obligations to you, prevent lease termination, and retain the long-term nature of the tenancy. 3. Mitigating Risks: To alleviate any concerns regarding the subleasing arrangement, I have conducted a thorough selection process to identify a responsible and trustworthy sublessee. This individual, who has provided the necessary documentation and undergone a comprehensive background check, would assume the same responsibilities and obligations outlined in our original lease agreement. Additionally, I would remain jointly liable for any damages or non-compliance issues during the sublease term. 4. Potential Benefits for Landlord: (a) Consistent Rent Payments: By allowing subleasing, you can ensure that rent is paid on time each month, thus eliminating any potential financial losses for you as the landlord. (b) No Vacancy Period: Allowing subleasing enables a smooth transition between tenants, minimizing the time and effort required to find a new tenant, reducing vacancy costs, and preserving the property's value. © Responsible Sublessee: I have found a reliable candidate who has undergone a thorough vetting process. This individual has demonstrated financial stability, excellent rental history, and has provided references. Allowing this sublessee would maintain the integrity and care of the property as per your expectations.
