    What is the Risk of Unauthorized Subletting
    What is the name of your state? New York

    I am leaving the country for 3 months and want to sublet the place, but my lease does not allow subletting.

    Personally I don't care if I lose the lease, I'd like to move out anyway, but I don't want fines that outweigh what i'm saving via the sublet (which is $5k) or any legal issues. This really comes down to the level of risk i'm taking. So assuming the landlord discovers this, what are the odds they go the extra mile (meaning do something more than just tell me to get out or keep the security deposit, which I can live with)?

    I'm not sure who "they" are.

    I'm not sure who "they" are, but I'm fairly certain the odds are 7.5:5.3.

    they would be the building management company...

    The risk of an unauthorized sublet is that your landlord finds out, evicts you (and your subtenant), and you end up being sued by your subtenant for breach of contract while also having an eviction on your credit history.
