FAQ
Is Subletting Illegal? In most cases, subletting is legal if the tenant obtains the landlords permission to let out the rental property. However, if the tenant sublets without written permission, they could come into legal difficulties.
If a tenant is subletting without consent, it's likely they will have broken terms in their tenancy agreement. This breach of contract means that the landlord can take action to evict them from their home. Possession proceedings can be started quickly, but it's important to follow the correct legal process.
Under Texas law, you cannot sublease the apartment without your landlord's prior consent. You should check your lease to see if it grants you the right to sublease. A lease that does not mention subleasing means your landlord has not given consent to sublease.
Secure and flexible tenants have a legal right to sublet part of their home with their landlord's written permission. If you sublet part of your home without permission, you are in breach of your tenancy agreement. Your landlord cannot unreasonably withhold its consent to a request to sublet part of your home.
Subleasing a Rental Property When a tenant whose name is on the lease rents a room, a portion of the property, or all of the property to another, it is referred to as subleasing (or subletting).So, if the subtenant owes back rent, the landlord has the option of suing the original tenant.
In short, subletting allows a new renter to take over the lease directly with the landlord, while subleasing involves renting all or part of the space to another renter through the original renter.
Oftentimes, sub-tenants have the right to be presented with an eviction notice in advance of having to move out and, in some jurisdictions, may be able to bring a lawsuit against the landlord.
Texas allows subletting but only if your lease says its okay. If your lease says no sublets, then that means no sublets. Texas law allows subletting but only if your lease says its okay. If your lease says no sublets, then that means no sublets.
