Subletting

sorry for the typos

Charge what ever someone is willing to pay

If someone is subletting "their" apartment, and it's not rent stabilized, I would venture to say that unless their lease specifically prohibits this, they can likely charge whatever they want.

Excuse me, "his or her" apartment.

"his or her" is a new politically correct term, it has no place in the English Language.

For subletting, they have to have permission in their lease to sublet, otherwise its an illegal sublet. You wouldnt want to get into a situation where the tenant is evicted bc of this and then you have to move. Just as important , is the place worth it to you? and can you afford it?

Not for me, just aking. There is no "his or her" apartment NYC10007.

sorry for the tangent, but what's wrong with "their"? i feel "his/her" is more degrading than "their" as "his/her" places the male pronoun first in the sequence...

"their" is plural - "someone" is not. If you like to use "their", you should say if "tenants are subletting their apartment..."

Freebird is correct as is NYC10007. angeloz, go back to wherever you learned to capitalize the word "language" and start again.

but can also be used after an indefinite singular antecedent in place of the definite masculine form his or the definite feminine form her : Someone left their book on the table.

RE and english lessons .. wow SE is a great site!

>Someone left their book on the table.

If it was a comic book or OJ's book entitled "If I Did It", then ok.

Brooks, please remember to use a comma to separate an interjection or weak exclamation from the rest of the sentence.

Wow, SE is a great site!

>weak exclamation

That's the best summary I've heard.

"their" is plural - "someone" is not.

Those pesky dictionary editors disagree with you, alas, as renterjoey as pointed out.

To answer the OPs question, unless your lease prohibits it, there's nothing preventing you from making a profit off of your sublet. (It's also not the case that sublets are illegal without permission; this would be a common requirement in most leases, but if the lease is silent on the point, I believe that by default there's no restriction on subletting. Even if there is a restriction, the landlord can't unreasonably deny the request to sublet in NYC.)

is a shareholder in a coop who is subletting obliged to inform sublettors of neighbors who might be difficult or threatening? In the case I'm thinking of the neighbor is mostly harassing board members and people from longstanding conflicts but is definitely mentally unstable/unpredictable.

Just so we can best answer you question Anonymous2013, are you the warner, the warnee, or the warned?
