If you sublet your apartment, you are still responsible for the lease. This means any damages or missed rent payments are your responsibility. Finding a reliable subtenant is crucial; be sure to screen carefully to avoid any complications like property damage that could leave you liable.
The basic framework: A sublease clause permits the tenant, with certain stipulations, to rent out either a portion or the entirety of their leased space to a third party, referred to as a subtenant.
A sublease arrangement in Arizona permits a tenant to re-rent their residence to someone else. To detail the terms of the agreement, a sublease contract is drawn up. This legally binding agreement is drawn up by the original tenant with the landlord's consent.
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.
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.
If your tenancy doesn't have a fixed end date you'll need your landlord's permission to sublet your whole home. If they say no, they don't have to give you a reason. If there's a fixed end date for your tenancy, you're allowed to sublet your whole home.
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.
Arizona law doesn't provide specific guidelines on subleasing for general residential properties. Instead, it largely depends on the original lease. If the lease allows subleasing or doesn't mention it at all, tenants can proceed with a sublease after getting written approval from their landlord.
