I live in New York City and my roommate and I entered into a 1 year lease together (we are both on the lease). She now wants to move out but we have not found a replacement for her yet. The New York City Rent Guidelines say that in order for a person to sublet an apartment they must submit to the landlord in writing 30 days before wanting to move out:
- the term of the sublease
- the name of the proposed sublessee
- the business and permanent home address of the proposed sublessee
- the reason for the sublet request
- your address for the term of the sublease
- written consent from any co-tenant or guarantor on the lease
- a copy of the proposed sublease (along with a copy of your lease, if available) acknowledged by the tenant and subtenant as a true copy of the sublease
Given this information, am I correct to assume that she needs my written consent to move out and if she does so without this consent, then I can hold her liable for continuing to pay the rent. I want to make sure that I am reading things correctly and that there are no other guidelines governing this situation which might change things. Thanks for the help.
