Common questions
- Can I sublet my apartment in Vancouver?
- Usually only with landlord consent and lease compliance. This page is for current Vancouver tenants who already have a lease and need to leave early — not a place to find or post listings. BC tenants may sublet or assign with the landlord's written consent. The landlord must not unreasonably withhold consent. Unauthorized subletting can be grounds for eviction.
- What's the difference between a sublet and a lease assignment in Vancouver?
- A sublet keeps you on the master lease while someone else occupies the unit. An assignment transfers the lease to a new tenant (landlord approval still usually required). British Columbia rules and your lease decide which path is available.
- I already have a Vancouver lease. Is this the right tool?
- Yes if you need to transfer or temporarily fill your own unit. Confirm legality here first, then use local listing platforms to find a replacement tenant. Unlock the $19 report for a draft consent request letter.
