FAQ
Real Property Law Section 226-b in conjunction with the Rent Stabilization Law gives tenants the right to sublease their apartment for a period of two out of every four years. In order to sublease an apartment, it is necessary that prior to the subleasing that the apartment be the tenants' primary residence.
Yes, they can. If you sublet your unit without your landlord's consent, they have the right to ask you to leave. Subletting without permission can be a violation of the lease agreement, and landlords have the authority to enforce the terms of the lease.
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.
Subletting Can Impact Property Values Parking becomes difficult, there are higher utility costs, and the neighborhood won't be as appealing to prospective buyers.
If they do not leave, then you will need to evict them by filing suit. Your only other option is to vacate and then the landlord will have to evict them.
Legal Right to Sublet They must typically obtain the landlord's explicit written consent. This consent could be part of the original lease or through a separate agreement. Landlords can screen subtenants and deny them based on legally acceptable reasons, but they cannot withhold consent unreasonably.
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.
Consent from the landlord A tenant must get a landlord's written permission to sub-let or transfer any part of the property. If a tenant does this without consent, they are breaching the terms of the tenancy agreement.
