The Tricky Process Of Subleasing My Appartment

As a sophomore I am super stoked to move off campus and get my own apartment next year! It is a very exciting process but, as I have found out, can also be very complicated.

I talk about this in my Off-Campus Living Seminar post. Just when I thought my future roommates and I had everything smoothed out and set in stone, we had some friends contact us about subleasing our apartment for the summer.

Subleasing is a really great opportunity to save some money over the summer but it also comes with more legal work. The boys we may be subleasing to are really great guys, but there is always some risk factor when allowing other people to live in the apartment that you are legally responsible for.

I was unsure of what I needed to know going into a subleasing contract. So, I did what I do for every problem in my life: I Googled it.

It is amazing how many websites and blogs there are on the internet. For just about any problem you may run into, there is someone out there who is in the same position and has already asked your question and most likely has acquired answered.

I found a couple great websites that describe the steps I need to take such as: how to find a good person to sublet to, how to create subleasing agreements and how to get my landlords approval.

Thank goodness I looked it up because I found a lot of new things to think about. What would I do without the internet??
