Hi! I rent an apartment with one roomate, we've lived here 2 years - renewed the lease once. Our lease end in 4 months, I have to move out early so I wanted to sublet or assign my part of the lease for the last 3.5 months. I asked our landlord and she said 'no'. She 'doesn't allow subletting'. But our lease says that she can't deny a sublet without good reason. I told the landlord this but she is sticking with her 'no'. I've tried to do some legal research and it seems that if I find someone who wants to sublet & have them apply (I don't really know how to apply)- she can deny the the applicant / sublet, but if she denys it with no good reason I can sublet anyways and it then becomes a legal thing. I don't really know what to do. My roommate isn't comfortable with me illegally subletting, and she also says she doesn't want to get involved in legal stuff - since her name is on the lease. I don't know what to do. Do you know if there is any way to handle this?
