[quote=jpinpb]There was a time I rented a townhouse and for a while I got a roommate later. I indicated I’m responsible for paying the rent and responsible for the property. There was no problem getting a roommate and helped pay the rent. I didn’t have to own to do that. [/quote]
I would think that’s the exception rather than the rule. As a landlord, I would want to have minimum amount of people living at my rental. Subleasing means you’d have to do background check on those other people too. It’s not just about paying rent on time but also what type of people they are and whether they look like those who would destroy your place. Can you picture your landlord’s face if you tell them you want to convert their house into a mini-dorm?
