    Can a tenant sublease a JOP unit without permission?

    A tenant is strictly prohibited from subleasing or assigning the use of a property to a third party unless they have obtained the express written consent of the landlord. If a tenant sublets a unit without this permission, the landlord has the legal right to request the eviction of the tenant before the lease expires. In such cases, the eviction also applies to the subtenant. This rule ensures that landlords maintain control over who occupies their property and that all residents are properly vetted and authorized.
