A lease dictates relations between the landlord and you the leaseholder; specifically, it will say if subletting is prohibited, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The rule is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. Most leases in Forest Hall do not prevent strict prohibition on subletting – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the property.
