The Residential Tenancies Act says this in regards to your situation:

Assignment and sublease
22(2) A landlord shall not refuse consent to an assignment or sublease unless there are reasonable grounds for the refusal.
(4) If a landlord does not respond to a request for a consent within 14 days after receiving the request, the landlord is deemed to have given consent.
(5) A landlord who refuses to give consent shall provide the tenant who requested consent with written reasons for the refusal.
(6) A landlord shall not charge a fee or other consideration for giving consent to an assignment or sublease.



In summary:
1. If they don't allow you to sublease, it must be on reasonable grounds. I guess the definition of reasonable is up in the air.
2. They must give a written list for the reasons to deny consent.
3. If consent is given, they can't charge you a fee.

This $300 fee, does this break your current rental agreement (making it an assignment) or is your name still on it then (sublease)?
