Subletting In The Private Rental Sector
| Infosheet
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. While the Renters’ Rights Bill doesn’t change subletting rules, it does make regaining possession more challenging, reinforcing the need for thorough tenant referencing as the best defence.
This infosheet also includes a recent case study highlighting how illegal subletting can go unnoticed and the financial impact it can have on landlords.
