Q: Hello, I rent a house from the second landlord. The contract he signed with the big landlord allows me to sublet. Later, the second landlord forged the contract with the landlord in order to make more money. Is this illegal?

Answer: Juntong Legal Online Consulting will give you the answer

Article 224 of my country’s Contract Law stipulates: “With the consent of the lessor, the lessee may If the lessee subleases the leased property to a third party, the lease contract between the lessee and the lessor shall remain valid. If the third party causes losses to the leased property, the lessee shall compensate the lessee for the loss. If the person agrees to sublease, the lessor can terminate the contract. "Therefore, if the second-hand owner subleases the store to you without the landlord's consent, the landlord has the right to terminate the lease contract and take back the store. For any losses caused to you, you can ask the second-hand boss to compensate you according to the rental contract signed between you and the second-hand boss. If the second-hand boss avoids you, you can sue him directly to the People's Court.
