How can I stop my roommate from subletting his space to a stranger violating the roommate agreement?
Full Question:
I am one of the two co-tenants in an apartment lease agreement. He wants to sublet his portion to a stranger despite the fact that I do not feel comfortable to give him the permission to do so. Both our tenancy agreement and roommate agreement clearly states that the landlord and the roommates have to agree unequivocally in writing in order to sublease the space. Can he sublet his portion of the lease without my written consent?

Answer:
In your case, you have clauses in both the lease agreement and roommate’s agreement in place which states that either of you who intends to sublet your space must comply two conditions:
- A written consent from your landlord approving the sublease.
- A written consent from the other roommate approving the sublease.
