Subletting

Subletting is when a tenant, who has rented a space from a landlord, allows someone else (the subtenant) to live in that space, either fully or partially, for a specific period. The original tenant still holds the lease with the landlord and remains responsible for rent and property maintenance. Subletting can be beneficial for tenants needing to leave temporarily, but they often must obtain the landlord's consent to do so, as it can impact the lease agreement and property rights. Always review the lease and local laws before proceeding with subletting.
