Subletting in the private rental sector can cause serious issues if done without a landlord’s consent, from tenancy breaches and invalid insurance to rent arrears and overcrowding. In our latest infosheet, we explore the key warning signs—like unauthorised occupants, extra locks, and online rental listings—and share the steps landlords can take, from inspections to formal warnings or legal action.
