Can I rent out my apartment for the 2010 olympics if I'm just a renter myself?

Question

I have a huge place near stanley park with a 800 square feet deck. I could make a killing renting it out for the games. But will I (and my whomever rents my place from me) get thrown out if we're caught?

Thanks

Answer 1

if it was me i would take advantage and rent it. Say its friends staying over. just supervise well. If he does catch you give him some cash,.. he will be ok then.

Answer 2

They could since you are not able to rent it out without going through the land lord.

The landlord has a right to the money since they own the property.  You could offer to split it with him which he maybe allow a sub leaser as long as they get a cut.

Answer 3

Read your rental agreement. I am sure there is something prohibiting subletting.

You'll make a killing but you'll need to find another place to live.

Answer 4

There is nothing wrong with wanting to earn extra money. If you really need extra cash and only have your apartment as a possible source of income, you can share your home. There are several home-sharing organizations out there that can help you out. This, being a legit program, assures that you don't have to worry about getting busted. Home-sharing has become a trend for those who needs extra money to pay for monthly payables.
