- mbreese 13y agoBut this happened in NYC... AirBNB is not legally compatible with New York City's housing/hotel laws. It very easily could be fine elsewhere, just not NYC.
- michaelmior 13y agoWhat does the legality of AirBNB have to do with landlord approval of subletters?
- tptacek 13y agoIf you lease is written on the back of a napkin, maybe, but most landlords use boilerplate leases, and every boilerplate lease has a sublet clause. It's one of the most important clauses in the lease; why bother with the rest of the terms if the lease simply delegates all authority to the renter?
- michaelmior 13y agoA sublet clause, yes. Perhaps I misunderstood your original comment because it sounded like you were saying that landlords personally vet all subletters. My previous lease did not have such a clause.
- tptacek 13y agoWhat did your sublet clause say, if it didn't say you needed landlord approval for a subletter? Think about what a lease that doesn't require approval for subletters is really saying.
- michaelmior 13y agoI needed approval from the landlord to start subletting, but no specific approval of the particular subletter.
