Help! --> Unapproved Sublet Situation

[Imran H.]

Hey everyone,

My tenant requested to sublet while hes on vacation for a few months, we said ok but with the requirement of screening and the application process and then approval by us.

It turns out my tenant did not care to any of those and let in 6 students from out of the country on a 2 month visa. This is in a 2 bedroom apartment that is 120 yr old.

Chicago does allow subletting but under certain circumstances such as someone taking over lease due to financial hardship (lost job, unable to pay rent, etc).

I am afraid the place will get trashed. If you have any suggestions how to go about this I would really appreciate. 

Thanks!
