Laws regarding subletting in Alberta
Hello.
I rented an apartment starting in September with a one year lease. However, I recently learned there is an excellent chance I will be transferred to Calgary in March. I inquired about subleasing my apartment, but he told me he does not allow tenants to sublease, and that he deducts a $300.00 fee so that he can sublet the apartment with his agency.
My question is can he charge this fee, even though I would easily be able to get people to take over my lease that have good credit history and references? In a province that I resided in before, the landlord must have reasonable grounds to refuse a sublet. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
