Subletting an Apartment

New York - July 28, 2008 RentLaw.com The National Landlord Tenant Guide announced today they have published a guide to SUBLETTING an APARTMENT .

The RentLaw.com Guide to Apartment Sublets provides information for both Tenants and Landlords on the Sublet process.

The guide coverages what to look out for when arranging the sublet and how protect yourself as the the tenant, landlord and sublet.

David Dorfman, Publisher of RentLaw.com said "Tenants have different reasons for subletting such as a temporary business assignment, caring for a sick relative out of town or the tenant who figures they can make money off their favorable lease." Whatever the reason, the tenant should always get advanced agreement in writing from the landlord.

Some states have specific laws regarding subletting. Be aware of these laws and note illegally subletting your apartment may result in evictions of the original tenant and the sublet. For example, see New York State Law on Subletting.
