sublet
 

Hi,
I've been told that subletting is quite usual in Canada, but I am wondering how it works...
Actually, I'd like to leave my apartment but still have 10 month lease left. Is it easy to have owner's agreement? will I be charged for fees or anything? I guess so...
If someone has experiences in sublettling their apartment, I'd like to have some advice. Thanks.

Basically subletting is quite legal and the landlord cannot refuse a sub-letter on unreasonable grounds. You will see, however, that you will be responsible for the lease until it ends. That means rent arrears and damages caused by the sub-letter.

Hi,
Thx for the answer, interesting link indeed...
If I understand what it is said, it's better to assign the apartment than to sublet, even if fees will be applied in order to be discharged from any responsabilities. But, it might take more time, then... hum, what a dilemma!
