Your lease dictates the relationship between the freeholder and you the leaseholder; in particular, it will indicate if subletting is prohibited, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions.

In most cases there is simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the sublease.
