The house I was looking for was sublet, and I signed a contract with the landlord. Is it okay if I don't want a house?

It's okay to sell the house, but the deposit can't be refunded.

The subletting of the house is mainly a matter of deposit. Renting in is equivalent to signing a new contract, indicating that you need to pay a deposit to the landlord. At this time, the lessee (former sublease) needs to cancel the contract with the landlord. If the lessee can sublet with the landlord in advance, he can get back his deposit at this time (because it is impossible to sign two contracts at the same time for a house).

At this time, only the lease between the sub-tenant and the landlord is left. Now the sublessor doesn't want to rent it. After communicating with the landlord, you can pack your own things and leave. The deposit can't be refunded naturally, because it was voluntarily given up before the contract period, which has nothing to do with the previous lessee.

At this time, the landlord also got the deposit as a loss. If the landlord rents it out again, it has nothing to do with anyone. As for what is unclear between the landlord and the lessee, it is a matter between two people and has nothing to do with the sublessor.

Extended data

The lessee can sublet the house to a third person only after the landlord agrees and signs the statement of consent to sublease. The lease contract between them continues to be valid, and if the third party lessee causes losses to the leased property, the original lessee shall be responsible for compensating the losses; If the landlord does not agree to sublet, the contract can be terminated.

Sublease refers to the transfer and lease of the house by the original tenant to a third party tenant. Article 224 of the Contract Law stipulates that if the lessee sublets without the consent of the lessor, the lessor may terminate the contract.

This will easily lead to a situation: because the tenant is the actual user of the house, once the sub-tenant violates the lease contract, the landlord will cancel the contract and demand to take back the house, and the interests of the tenant will be directly damaged. Tenants will face the risk of no housing and loss of rent.

pay attention to

1. Check the original lease contract before signing the contract.

Because the sublease relationship is complex, as a tenant, in order to avoid risks and safeguard his own rights and interests, he can ask the sublease to issue the original lease contract to see whether it is formal, whether it is within the lease term, whether there are major loopholes, and whether the agreements such as breach of contract and fees are clear.

2. Check the statement of consent to sublease.

After ensuring that there is no problem with the original lease contract, the sublessor should be required to provide a statement that the original landlord agrees to sublease, so as to ensure that the sublease is legal and avoid the landlord's ignorance, which will lead to the invalidation of the lease contract, which will not only waste the time of finding a new house, but also bring rent losses.
