What does the landlord mean when he says he can't check out but sublet?

Legal analysis: It refers to the lessee's behavior of subletting part or all of the leased house during the lease period, including handing over the leased house to others for use in the name of joint venture, contracted operation and cooperative operation, and obtaining the guaranteed income in the nature of rent, all of which are subletted houses. Generally speaking, subletting means that the landlord rents it to you, and then you rent it to others, that is, the landlord gives you the right to lease, and then you authorize (authorize) this right to others. This is subject to the consent of the property owner (landlord), and the lease right has not been handed over, but is authorized to be used by others. Conditions for subletting the house:

1. The lease term stipulated in the lease contract shall not exceed 20 years. More than 20 years, more than part is invalid.

2. If the lease term exceeds six months, it shall be in written form. If the parties fail to take a written form, it shall be regarded as an indefinite lease.

With the consent of the lessor, the lessee may sublet the leased property to a third party, and the original lease contract shall remain valid. If a third party causes losses to the leased property, the lessee shall compensate for the losses.

4. If the lessor sells the leased house, it shall notify the lessee within a reasonable period before the sale, and the lessee has the preemptive right under the same conditions.

Legal basis: Article 7 16 of the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC). With the consent of the lessor, the lessee may sublet the leased property to a third party. If the lessee sublets, the lease contract between the lessee and the lessor shall remain valid; If a third party causes losses to the lease item, the lessee shall compensate for the losses.

If the lessee sublets without the consent of the lessor, the lessor may terminate the contract.

Article 717 Where the lessee subleases the lease item to a third person with the consent of the lessor, if the sublease term exceeds the remaining lease term of the lessee, the agreement beyond the lease term is not legally binding on the lessor, unless otherwise agreed by the lessor and the lessee.

Article 718 Where the lessor knew or should have known about the sublease, and did not raise any objection within six months, it shall be deemed that the lessor agreed to sublease.
