What Is a Landlord's Consent to Sublease?

A Landlord's Consent to Sublease is a document that gives a landlord permission for their tenant to sublease the property that they are renting. In almost all cases, a tenant cannot rent out a property if they are not the landlord but this may be possible with the consent of the landlord.

Alternate Names:

• Landlord Consent to Sublease;
• Sublease Consent;
• Consent to Sublet.

This document ensures that the original tenant is still under full obligation to meet the demands laid out between themselves and the landlord, meaning that they are still the responsible individual for any breaches in the contract by the subtenant. It is also important to sign this document as it clearly outlines the roles and responsibilities of all of the involved parties which includes the original tenant, the subtenant, and of course, the landlord. This will prevent any misinterpretations when it comes to payments or maintenance. A well-drafted Landlord's Consent to Sublease will clearly outline what each party is liable for.

In most cases, a landlord will be willing to sign this consent form even if the contract of the tenant explicitly does not allow subleasing. It does not carry any risks for the landlord as the original tenant is still the responsible party - meaning most landlords will be happy to sign the form.
