Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Subletting and assigning are different legal concepts. The lease prohibits assigning, but Alischia is subletting, which might not be prohibited by the lease terms. However, in a sublease, the original tenant (Alischia) remains responsible for the rent, not the sublessee (Don), unless an agreement states otherwise. Therefore, Don is not directly liable to Pedro for the rent.
