Subleasing

Subleasing is when a person, who has signed a lease with a landlord, rents their room or apartment to another person. In most cases, if you sublease you remain on the original lease. As a result, you continue to be responsible for all lease provisions and for the actions of the sub letter until the end of the agreement. Remember, the sublease agreement is separate from the lease.

  • It is always best to get permission from your landlord first before trying to sublease your place
  • You can post sublease opportunities on the Message Board of the Searchable Off-Campus Housing Database.
