Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need my landlord's permission to sublease?
In most states, yes. Your original lease likely has a clause about subletting. Even in states where subletting is allowed by default, landlords can include a no-sublease clause. Always get written landlord consent before subletting to avoid lease violations.
Am I still responsible for rent if I sublease?
Yes. As the original tenant, you remain legally responsible for rent payments to the landlord, even if your subtenant fails to pay. A sublease creates a separate agreement between you and the subtenant, but your obligations under the original lease remain.
Can my landlord raise the rent on a sublease?
Generally, the rent in a sublease is between you and your subtenant. Your landlord cannot typically raise rent during your existing lease term. However, some landlords charge a subletting fee, and your lease may restrict how much you can charge a subtenant.
