Renting a property comes with specific legal boundaries that tenants must carefully navigate. When a lease agreement includes clear restrictions against subletting, transferring, or reassigning the property, tenants find themselves in a challenging legal position. These prohibitions aren't just suggestions—they're legally binding clauses that carry significant consequences.

If a tenant attempts to sublet a property without explicit permission from the landlord, they create a problematic legal scenario. The third-party who receives the sublet property gains absolutely no legal rights to occupy the space. Essentially, a tenant cannot transfer more rights than they originally possessed under their lease agreement.

Landlords have powerful legal recourse in such situations. They can pursue an ejectment order to remove anyone who has entered the property through an unauthorized sublet arrangement. Courts will consistently refuse to enforce sublease agreements that directly violate the original lease terms. This approach protects landlords' fundamental property rights and prevents tenants from circumventing their original contractual obligations.

The legal principle is straightforward: tenants cannot create rights they do not possess. Any attempt to sublet without permission effectively nullifies the sublease. Third parties who enter such arrangements risk immediate removal, with courts supporting the original landlord's right to protect their property and enforce the initial lease agreement.
