I want to rent out my leasehold apartment in Sutton on Trent. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Is permission from the freeholder required?
A small minority of properties in Sutton on Trent do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission.

Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
