Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
I am going away for two months, and I am going to sublet my apartment. My landlord doesn't know about it, and it's prohibited in the lease. So even though I'm doing this "under the table", is there anything I can get my subletter to sign to cover my basic rights? Thanks.

There's no reason you can't get the sublessor to sign a standard sublease. Enforceability may be an issue if the landlord gets wind of it and evicts you both, but short of that, an agreement between the two of you would generally still be valid.

Nothing like listening to a person violating the law, subleasing when it is prohibited, and then asking us to protect her rights. So the law should protect you, but not your landlord? Shame on you.
