Hi All,
As a tenant in a 2 family rental building, am I covered by the right to assign clause of 226-B?
Basically, my situation is that the LL will let us out if we find a new tenant, at significantly higher rent. Apt has been on the market for a month with no interest, due to the asking price. My only option is to find somebody to assign the lease to, but the ll has stated he is not interested in this type of arrangement. My intent is to advertise anyways, send a candidate to the LL and then if he refuses "unreasonably" or doesn't answer to exercise my right to vacate under 226-B
Some questions, if anybody has info I really need help understanding my options!!
1)Does 226B apply to 2 family non-regulated buildings
2)Does anybody have more info on what is considered "reasonable"
3)Following from above, am I forced to use a realtor? I think I will be more successful finding somebody to assign my lease to if they do not have to pay a realtor's fee
4)Does the request to assign take the same form as the request to sublet?
Thank you!!!
