Gather evidence<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Collect evidence to support your claim of unauthorized subletting.

Secure any outstanding rent owed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If the subtenant has been paying rent directly to the tenant, make sure to collect any outstanding rent that may be owed to you. You can request it from the subtenant directly or include the amount in your legal action against your tenant.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Update_your_lease_agreement\"><\/span>10. Update your lease agreement<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To prevent future subletting issues, consider updating your lease agreement to include stronger language prohibiting subletting without written consent.
