It was explained to me by a real estate lawyer that the six-month residency requirement meant six months of occupancy of the premises, otherwise it's considered that you've abandoned the property. Perhaps proof of a time-limited work contract might be enough proof that there has not be abandonment, but I think that could be grey. With some landlords tracking tenants every movement, you better have some really hard evidence and not something with an open-end contract.
When I have done sublets, the landlord required that the subtenant pay directly -- because there was a 10% premium added to the basic rent -- and that the sublet lease be approved and signed by all the parties. |
