What is a letter requesting consent to sublet?
A letter requesting consent to sublet is a formal letter sent by the tenant under the master lease agreement to request the landlord’s consent for subletting the property to another third party. This is a standard letter that is being used across the United Kingdom to request the landlord’s consent in a polite and professional manner.
This sample letter requesting consent to sublet can be used for various types of commercial or residential properties across the UK, including:
- flats and houses;
- rooms and apartments;
- offices and commercial spaces;
- retail shops and warehouses, etc.
Sending a letter requesting consent to sublet does not guarantee the landlord’s consent. However, having a professionally drafted letter significantly increases the chances of your request being approved.
When do you need this landlord permission to sublet?
Tenants usually need to apply for the prior consent to sublet before signing:
- residential tenancy agreement in England, Scotland or Northern Ireland;
- commercial lease agreement in England, Scotland or Northern Ireland;

If the landlord approves the sublet, the parties should end a consent to lease agreement aimed to clarify main conditions of the sublease between the landlord, tenant and subtenant.
