Re: [propertyAddress]
Dear [recipientName],
Request for consent to sublet *(use this version if you are the tenant)*
I write to formally request your consent under the tenancy agreement for [propertyAddress] to sublet to [subTenantName].
Details of the proposed sublet:
- Scope: [scopeOfSublet] - Proposed start date: [subletStart] - Proposed end date: [subletEnd] - Monthly rent payable to me: £[monthlyRent]
I confirm that:
- I will remain primarily responsible to you for the rent and the condition of the property under the original tenancy. - I will obtain and check references for the proposed subtenant before they move in. - I will provide a written sub-tenancy agreement on request. - I will inform my insurer that the property will be sublet (if you require this).
Under section 1 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1988, I would be grateful for your written response within 28 days. Where the tenancy requires your consent, the Act provides that consent must not be unreasonably withheld.
I am happy to discuss any concerns and to provide further information about the proposed subtenant if helpful.
Yours sincerely,
[senderName]
