Subletting Laws in Massachusetts
When it comes to subletting in Massachusetts, a lot depends on the lease. Most tenants have to get their landlord's permission to legally sublet.
In Massachusetts, a tenant is free to sublet if the lease doesn't mention or prohibit subletting. As Massachusetts Legal Help explains:
If your lease does not mention or prohibit subletting, you are free to do so. Most leases require that a landlord give written consent before you can sublet. If this is the case, contact the landlord and try to get her written consent before subletting.
Tenants who need approval for a sublet should reach out to their landlord in writing to request special permission.
