If you sublet your home when you're not allowed to, your landlord is likely to take action to evict you.
So first, in NYC a landlord cannot unreasonably deny a request to sublet. You must submit a written request at least 30 days in advance, and it must include things like who you'll be subletting to, why you're wanting to sublet, where you'll be during this period, etc...
Remember when subletting that you are responsible for the monthly payments until your lease expires as the original tenant with a legally binding lease agreement in place. With this in mind, make sure that the arrangements you put in place—whether an assignment or you're subletting—are legally sound.
Interview both this person and the actual tenant (the person who originally entered into the lease agreement with you). Once you have ascertained that your original tenant is subletting, document when this occurred and under what terms the new tenant is living there.
If your agreement doesn't say anything about subletting You don't need your landlord's permission but it's usually best to let them know. If they don't want you to sublet your home, your landlord can get a court order to end your tenancy, evict your subtenant and stop you from moving back in.
Detriments The original tenant can only provide rights to your company they have in their lease. You may not be able to secure rights to extend the lease term beyond the existing term. Since the original tenant is not in the landlord business, they may not be willing to offer an adequate tenant improvement allowance.
If the subtenant doesn't adhere to the lease rules or causes disruptions in the building, it could lead to complaints from neighbors or even legal action from the landlord. Eviction Risk: If a tenant sublets without permission or violates the terms of the lease, the landlord may issue an eviction notice.
NYC Law and Subletting Rules This means if you're planning a short trip, you can't legally rent out your apartment on platforms like Airbnb without specific permissions. For longer sublets, you must notify your landlord and get their written consent. This is not just a courtesy—it's a legal requirement.
Generally no. However, a landlord may enter a tenant's apartment in some situations.
There are several ways to report suspected illegal short-term rentals in your building or neighborhood. You can call 311 and follow the prompts; or submit a complaint online.
