How subletting works with different landlords

Rules and application paths vary. Open the relevant landlord guide to find permissions, forms and contact routes before advertising.

01

Request permission first

Confirm who approves the sublet and which reasons, dates and documents are required.

02

Set reasonable terms

Make the rent, furniture, deposit and rental period explicit, and keep the decision and signed agreement.

03

Publish when ready

Once permission and terms are in place, create a free listing and choose the tenant yourself.

Common questions

Is permission always required?
Approval is often required from the landlord or housing association. Check the rules for your tenure.
