Getting Approval for a Sublet in Illinois

Illinois or Chicago law do not specify how you should send a request for approval, so stick with common sense.

What to Send

Prepare as much information on your situation and your proposed subtenant as possible. Send your landlord a request letter including information about your subtenant. Not sure what to include? Customize this Illinois sublet request letter. Send it along with a copy of your sublet agreement and evidence that you've already screened them.

How to Send It

Sent this along with your sublet agreement to your landlord, using whichever means of communication you usually use to get in touch with them. Ask them to sign the sublet agreement. Both you and your subtenant should have a copy of the signed lease.
