Q: Can I sublease my apartment for more than i pay the apartment complex, pay the rent and keep the overhead?
I am looking to sublease my apartment and i have someone that is wiling to pay more than i pay for rent as long as they are not on the lease. This means that i would be profiting from the sublease. Is this legal in the state of florida?
A: That sounds like a great idea, but you will need to review your Lease Agreement first. Landlords typically screen tenants prior to granting possession, so the Lease Agreements usually contain a provision that you cannot sublease without Landlord approval, or sometimes, not at all. I would recommend that you review your Lease Agreement prior to entering into any agreements, so as not to have you and your tenant evicted. You may want to review your Lease Agreement with an attorney so that you can have proper advice. Best of Luck! Jennifer
