We for the most part do not allow sub-let.

It is nothing but trouble. In fact if you have to many your insurance rate will go up.

Best bet for the bldg. unless absolutly necessary don't allow it.

Sublet ? - AliceT Jun 17, 2007


Thanks for your informative response,,, One more question... Is there a restriction on how many times an apartment can be sublet?

A number of years ago the Board relaxed the rules, and some of the absentee owners run B&B in our building. We now have board members who are intrested in changing the house rules.
