SUBLEASING

 

Subletting is a process in which a tenant leases their rental property to another person or subtenant. This process is usually done when the original tenant is unable to meet the remainder of the lease, but does not want to end the lease or forfeit the security deposit. 

When subletting a rental apartment, the following instructions must be followed:

1. Read the lease: Before subletting the rental property, read the lease to see if subletting is allowed. Some landlords prohibit subletting or require written permission before subletting.

2. Find a subtenant: Once subtenant approval is confirmed, find a subtenant who is willing to take over the lease. You can advertise your rental on various online platforms such as Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace or Roommates.com. Be sure to screen potential subtenants to ensure they are responsible and financially capable of meeting the terms of the lease.

3. Negotiate the terms with the subtenant: Negotiate the terms of the sublease with the subtenant. The duration of the sublease, amount of rent, deposit and other terms of the lease must be defined in this contract.

4. Get approval from the landlord: After you and the subtenant have agreed on the terms of the sublease, get approval from the landlord. Provide them with a copy of the sublease agreement and any other documents they may require, such as a credit check or proof of income.

5. Signing the sublease: After obtaining the landlord's consent, both the original tenant and the subtenant must sign the sublease. Both parties should keep this document as proof of the contract.

6. Collection of rent and security deposit: The subtenant must pay the rent and security deposit to the original tenant, who will forward these payments to the landlord. The original tenant remains responsible for the property and is responsible for any damages caused by the subtenant.

Finally, subletting can be an affordable option for tenants who cannot fulfill the remainder of their lease. By following these steps, both the original tenant and the subtenant can protect their interests and avoid legal disputes..
