    Can a tenant be evicted for unauthorized subletting?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    Yes, subletting the property or any part of it without obtaining the landlord�s written approval is a legal ground for immediate eviction. In this scenario, the eviction applies to both the primary tenant and the Subtenant. While the subtenant is forced to vacate, they maintain the right to claim compensation from the tenant who illegally leased them the property. This rule ensures that landlords maintain absolute control over the occupants residing in their real estate assets.
