Subletting
Subletting rules and what to write in the contract
Rules
- •Subletting only with the landlord's written consent
- •Sublease cannot exceed the main lease term
- •The tenant remains liable to the owner for subtenant actions
- •Sublease rent may differ from the main rent — free pricing
- •Terminating the main lease automatically ends the sublease
- •For commercial rent — also agree on premises purpose
Civil Code: without the landlord's consent subletting is prohibited. Classic scam: a 'tenant' rents out someone else's apartment short-term without the owner's knowledge. Verify the owner and whether the main lease allows subletting.
