At least in Oakland, tenants have a practically unlimited right to sublease (caveat, that's based on my reading of the just cause eviction law) -- the landlord may only object under a few specific circumstances, and if the subtenant agrees to be bound by all the rules to which the main tenant is bound, almost no reasonable objection is possible. I would not expect Oakland to be more liberal than SF in this regard, but I could be wrong.
