In Virginia, a tenant can legally sublet his or her rental as long as the lease that he or she signed does not specifically prohibit it. As a good business practice, and to prevent any potential issues, the tenant should receive written permission from the landlord.
NOTE: Under Virginia law, if you do not have a lease, and you do not pay rent, you are considered a tenant at sufferance. This means you can be evicted for any reason at all, at any time, and no notice needs to be given to you.
California isn't the most tenant-friendly state when it comes to subletting. According to California law you must receive written consent from your landlord prior to subletting, and if your lease says no subletting, then that really means no subletting.
Each state has different laws regarding subtenancy, with most landlords prohibiting subletting a property without prior permission. If subletting occurs without the landlord's knowledge, that landlord has the right to serve a three-day notice of eviction to both the tenant and the sublessor.
TERMINATING OR ENDING YOUR TENANCY If you have no written lease and you pay rent by the month, the tenancy can be terminated by either you or the landlord for any reason or no reason at all, by giving at least 30 days written notice before the next rental due date.
