Hey @Yang Vang, welcome to the Fresno RE market! 

Cool @Lance Yang. 

It is far better if the landlord just lets Tina out of her lease, and accepts Sam as a new tenant.Or, the landlord might let Tina out of her lease, accept Sam as a new tenant, but also require Tina to guarantee Sam's lease for the final six months (using my example) of Tina's lease term.Either one of these accomplishes everybody's goals without getting into messy technicalities that come about with a sublease.Most leases contain prohibitions against subleasing without the landlord's consent.Many leases charge a one-time fee if the tenant subleases, or is let out of their lease and a new tenant accepted.That is because the situation causes extra work and risk for the landlord. 

@Wei Jie Yang did you ever go through with these guys?
