When a tenant chooses to sublease his dwelling to another, the original lease often requires that for such a sublease to be valid the landlord must consent to it. The following document is a Landlord’s Consent to Sublease. It simply states that the landlord will allow the sublease; however, depending on the provisions of your original lease, the original tenant may still be responsible for the performance of the lease if the subtenant (i.e. the new tenant) fails in his duties (e.g. pay the rent). This form should only be used if a separate sublease agreement is being used. If the original lease is being assigned and there is no sublease agreement, please use our Landlord’s Consent to Assignment instead of this form.

This form can be used in Wisconsin.

This package contains: (1) Instructions and Checklist for the Landlord’s Consent; (2) Information about the Landlord’s Consent; and (3) The Landlord’s Consent to Sublease

Frequently Asked Questions

A Landlord’s Consent to Sublease is a legal document that allows a tenant to sublease their rental property with the landlord's approval. It ensures that the sublease complies with the original lease terms and protects the rights of both the landlord and the tenant.

Yes, most lease agreements require tenants to obtain the landlord's consent before subleasing their unit. Failing to do so could result in a breach of the lease and potential eviction.

If a subtenant fails to pay rent, the original tenant may still be held responsible for the rent under the terms of the original lease. This is why it is crucial to have a clear sublease agreement and to choose a reliable subtenant.

No, this form is specifically for subleasing. If you are looking to assign your lease to another party, you should use the Landlord’s Consent to Assignment instead.

This form is tailored for use in Wisconsin and may not be valid in other states. Always check local laws and regulations regarding subleasing before using any legal document.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are renting an apartment may need to sublease their unit temporarily due to job relocation or personal circumstances. In such cases, obtaining the landlord's consent is essential to ensure compliance with the original lease terms and avoid potential legal issues.
  • Situations requiring a tenant to travel for an extended period can lead to the need for a sublease. By securing the landlord's consent, the tenant can legally allow someone else to occupy the property, ensuring that rent is paid and the property is maintained during their absence.
  • For those looking to share living expenses, subleasing can be a viable option. A tenant may wish to bring in a subtenant to help cover costs, but must first obtain the landlord's consent to ensure that the arrangement is legally recognized and protects their rights under the lease.
  • When a tenant's circumstances change, such as a sudden financial hardship, they may need to sublease their unit to avoid defaulting on their lease. Gaining the landlord's consent is crucial to ensure that the original tenant remains compliant with the lease terms while finding a temporary solution.
  • Landlords may require a formal process for approving subleases to maintain control over their property. By providing a Landlord’s Consent to Sublease, they can ensure that any new occupants meet their standards and that the original tenant remains responsible for the lease.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate if the original lease explicitly prohibits subleasing. In such cases, attempting to sublease without the landlord's consent could lead to eviction or legal action.
  • – If the tenant is looking to assign their lease rather than sublease, this form should not be used. Instead, the tenant should seek a Landlord’s Consent to Assignment to properly transfer their lease obligations.
  • – In situations where the tenant has already subleased the property without obtaining consent, using this form retroactively will not resolve any potential lease violations. It is essential to obtain consent prior to subleasing.
  • – This form is also not suitable for short-term rentals or vacation rentals, as those arrangements may require different legal documentation and compliance with local rental laws.
  • – If the tenant is facing eviction or legal disputes with the landlord, using this form may not be advisable until those issues are resolved, as it could complicate the legal situation further.
