My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: MD
Lease says tenant can sublease with the approval of the landlord. The sublessee applied with me (the landlord), and was approved.
What steps must I take to ensure a successful sublease:
1) Does the sublessee need to sign a lease with me?
2) Should I write up a contract, stating that the tenant is fully aware that if the sublessee fails to pay, or is evicted due to a breach of lease, that they are responsible?
3) If the deposit is returned, is it returned to the original tenant?
Thank you,
