You may assume that you are all set to work on a sublease agreement with someone else because it is a good idea and will save you time and money. This can seem like the perfect solution to help you avoid getting stuck with the apartment when you need to move or stuck with some big fees along the way. But before you jump on board and start having someone move into the space, you need to take a good look at your lease, or that legal document you signed when you first moved into the apartment.
Most landlords are going to include a section about subleasing the apartment and whether or not it is allowed. There are different choices that the landlord can make here when it comes to subleasing, and you need to follow what is in the lease, or you will be in violation of it and can be evicted and face other fees. Some of the options that the landlord can add into the lease concerning subleasing includes:
# Your original lease does not allow any tenant to do subleasing. If this is the case, then you should stop looking because you will not be allowed to do this at all.
# Your lease doesn’t have a part in it that says anything about subleasing. This usually means that it is allowed, but you may want to check that out before you jump right into it.
# Your lease does allow you to do a subleasing agreement, but you will need to get the permission of the landlord before you do it and you may need to go through some other steps to make it happen as well.
# Your lease will allow you to enter into the sublease agreement, and there are no additional terms or steps that you need to follow. Even if your lease does say this one, remember that you are responsible for the other tenant, so choose someone who is going to take good care of the place.
You may also need to check not only the lease, but also the local and state laws. Some areas will allow you to do a sublease, even if the landlord doesn’t.
