INFORMATION
A lessee may sublease their dwelling. They must give the lessor notice of their intention and the name and
address of the intended sublessee and obtain the lessor’s consent to the sublease.
The lessor may not refuse to consent to the sublease of the property without a serious reason.
If the lessor refuses, they must inform the lessee of their reasons for refusing within 15 days of receiving the
notice; otherwise, they are deemed to have consented.
A lessor who consents to the sublease of the property may not exact any payment other than the
reimbursement of any reasonable expenses resulting from the sublease.
If the lessor brings an action against the lessee, the sublessee is not bound toward the lessor for any amount
except the rent for the sublease which they owe to the lessee; the sublessee may not set up advance
payments. Payments made by the sublessee either under a stipulation that is included in their lease and has
been made known to the lessor, or in accordance with the usage of the place, are not considered to be
advance payments.
If the non-performance of an obligation by a sublessee causes serious injury to the lessor or the other lessees
or occupants, the lessor may apply for the termination of the sublease.
If a lessor fails to perform their obligations, the sublessee may exercise the rights and remedies of the lessee
to have them performed.
