Right to Sublet

Whether or not subletting is allowed in Nevada is dictated by the original lease. Written consent from the landlord is often required. The parties can use a Landlord Consent Form for this purpose. If a tenant sublets the property without proper authorization, this may be grounds for eviction.[1]
