Will you allow sublease?

[Sharon Zhou]

Hi everyone,

I’m about to renew the lease with my tenant, who has requested a change to allow subleasing. Our current lease, based on a template, prohibits subletting, so I’m not fully aware of the pros and cons of this arrangement. This tenant has been great, and I want to encourage them to renew, but I’m also concerned about potential risks if I permit subleasing.

Can anyone share their expertise on subleasing? Specifically, what are the worst-case scenarios I might face if I allow it?
