If your agreement doesnt say anything about subletting You dont need your landlords permission but its usually best to let them know. If they dont want you to sublet your home, your landlord can get a court order to end your tenancy, evict your subtenant and stop you from moving back in.
Many leases require the landlords explicit permission to sublease, and failing to obtain this permission can lead to serious consequences including eviction. Even if subleasing is allowed, the original tenant must ensure that the sublease agreement complies with local laws and the terms of the original lease.
The first tenant remains fully responsible for all of the obligations of the lease. Neither assignment nor subletting releases the tenant from liability to the landlord. If the lease requires the landlords permission to assign or sublease, the landlord cannot arbitrarily or unreasonably reject a substitute tenant.
Minnesota law requires written consent from the original landlord for subleasing. This may be part of the initial lease or a separate agreement. If the lease does not mention subleasing, tenants might have the freedom to proceed, but its crucial to consult the landlord first.
While subleasing is not illegal in California, landlords can legally prevent their tenants from subletting a property by stating so in the lease. However, some California cities are more permissible when it comes to subletting. Read your lease to see what is required based on where in California you live.

If the landlords contract is with the tenant, the tenant is responsible to the landlord for damages and back rent. The tenant may sue the subletter based on their Sublease Agreement, if they have one, to recover what the landlord recovers from the tenant.
