FAQ
Like any other tenant, subtenants must be evicted properly through the courts, or a master tenant or landlord could face severe legal consequences. Generally, a master tenant, landlord or property manager may evict a subletter for the same reasons as they would a tenant.
In a sublease, there are three parties: the landlord, the original tenant (sublessor), and a new tenant (sublessee). The original tenant remains responsible to the landlord, while the sublessee pays rent to the sublessor and occupies the property under the terms agreed upon in the sublease.
California law requires tenants to seek explicit, written permission from their landlords to sublet if it is not already allowed in the lease. Landlords have the right to approve or deny these requests unless prohibited by a local ordinance.
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.
Subleasing is legal in California, but the landlord must give the initial renter approval before subletting the property. A sublease is required when the original tenant wants to lease a sizable piece of the property.
How to Write One Identify all parties to the contract. Define the lease term. Identify the terms and rent amount. Address any other financial responsibilities. Discuss the terms of the security deposit. List any other restrictions. Date and sign the agreement. Attach a copy of the original lease.
Reasons a landlord might deny a sublet request Allowing the sublet would result in too many people living in the unit. Too many residents would be under 18. The prospective subtenant won't agree to the same terms as the original rental agreement. The prospective subtenant plans to keep pets in the unit.
