It may be possible to sublet an apartment, inium, or townhouse, or take over an existing lease. In a sublet arrangement, a person who is leasing an apartment or other property, in turn, leases that property to another person.
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...

Under California law, unless the lease specifically prohibits subletting, tenants may have the right to sublease their rental unit. In this case, you would not be able to unreasonably withhold consent.
Landlords restrict subletting because they want control of who's in their properties. You wanna sublet so you can get out of a lease, so your standards are somewhat reduced. You might not care about security of the place, you might not care about the subletters background, he has a lease with you not the landlord.
If you have a lease for a set term, like one year, you can sublet with or without your landlord's permission, unless they prohibit this in the written lease.
