Subletting is risky. It comes with the same risks as taking on a roommate, except both people won't be there to deal with problems as they arise. If a tenant's subletter skips town or damages the apartment, the tenant is jointly and severally liable with them and could get stuck with the bill.
A sublease is the re-renting of property by an existing tenant to a new third party for a portion of the tenant's existing lease contract.
How to write a roommate agreement Names of both tenants. The property address. The dates the lease begins and ends. The amount of rent each person pays. Who pays for utilities. Who pays the security deposit. Which bedroom each person occupies. Who buys food, or if you're each buying your own food.
No tenant may sublet an apartment without the written consent of the landlord. If you did not consent to the sublease then it is not valid or enforceable. Your remedy is to terminate your tenant's lease, which will also terminate any subleases.
In California, if you are the only person on the lease and your roommate is not listed, you are considered the "master tenant" and your roommate is considered a "subtenant." As the master tenant, you have the right to evict your subtenant, but you must follow the proper legal procedures.
A Roommate Agreement is where there is one lease, naming both parties, with the owner of the property as the Landlord. A sublease, is where one person has a lease with the Landlord, and then enters into a sublease with another person and becomes their Landlord.
Roommate means anyone who occupies the dwelling on a Lot as their primary residence for at least 90 consecutive days during the same time that the Authorized Occupant or Authorized Corporate Occupant resides in the Lot.
