Subletting

To sublet is to rent your apartment to someone during your own lease term. If you choose to sublease your apartment, you remain on the original lease and continue to be responsible for all lease provisions. You are still responsible for the actions of the sub-lessee, so make sure everyone signs a sublease agreement. The sublease agreement does not replace the original lease, however it will provide details of what the sublessor and sublessee are agreeing to during the term.

Some leases prohibit subletting. Check with your landlord first about their requirements or procedures and get your landlord’s permission in writing before subletting!
