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.

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.

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.
