Gaining success through guaranteed rent

In broad terms, the practice of subletting sees a tenant lease a building they are renting to someone else, usually for a higher fee than they themselves pay. In most cases this takes place illegally, insofar as the legal owner of the property is unaware that it is happening. Whilst this happens most frequently in cities which have rent control to go with high levels of demand for property, it happens in many locations across the world. Although London does not have rent controls, there have been cases where tenants have been found to be subletting without the permission or knowledge of the owner. Continue reading →
