    What happens to a Subtenant if the primary Tenant is evicted?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    If a Tenant is evicted for subletting the property without written approval, the eviction applies to both the Tenant and the Subtenant. In such a case, the Subtenant is legally required to vacate the premises, but they reserve the right to claim compensation from the primary Tenant for any losses sustained. This highlights the high risk for Subtenants who enter into agreements without verifying the Landlord's consent, as they have no direct legal protection against the property owner in unauthorised arrangements.
