I live in a rental and I’m going away for three weeks over Christmas. My rent is $600 a week but it says in my contract that I can’t sub-let, which means putting $1800 down the drain while I’m away. Plus, rents in my area skyrocket over the Christmas period so I could probably run a profit if I put it on Airbnb. What can my landlord do if I sub-let my place? –, otherwise your landlord can end the rental agreement and ask anyone living at the property to leave within 14 days.
As your name is on the lease agreement you must ask for written permission from your landlord or property manager to sub-let it.

They are not able to refuse permission on the basis of a person’s race, sex, disability or gender identity.
