<prompt> Human: I currently live in a three bedroom apartment with five other guys. My roommate and I share the cost of our bedroom of 950, paying 475 each per month. We also pay approximately 20 a month for utilities. Knowing I would not be staying for the three summer months, I was looking for someone to sublet my half of the room when he notified me that he doesnt want to live with a random person over the summer. He agreed to pay me a certain amount per month but we didnt decide on a price. Im not really sure how to determine a price in this situation and was looking for some opinions. Currently we share a bathroom but in the summer hell have his own so that may factor in. The other two rooms in the apartment have found subleasers. My gut price was for him to pay me around 200 a month but Im not sure if thats too highlow. Hes one of my high school friends so we have a decent relationship. Any opinions would be appreciated, thanks!  <response>: I dont know why he would need to pay you anything. He is definitely within his rights to ask you not to sublet to a stranger. The real question is whether your landlord had given you the right to sublet. Be very careful if you do sublet. As far as your landlord is concerned, any damages done by the people who lease under you is on those who signed the original lease agreement. If sublet tenant doesnt pay, that is also on you. I had exactly this horrible scenario. 4 friends sharing a 4 bedroom flat. One friend decides to sublet to a random stranger. Random stranger turns out to be a crackhead. Random stranger crackhead invites crackhead friends over to the house all hours day and night. The remaining 3 of us get Fed up and collect our belongings that havent been stolen or broken by said crackheads and cut our losses by subleting to the crackheads friends for the remainder of the lease, because we could no longer stand being forced into living with crackheads and wanted out fast. Lease is up. House is destroyed. We original leasers are on the hook for all repairs including shit like milk being poured down air vents and cabinets ripped off the walls. Your friend you share a room with entered an agreement to share a room with you for the length of the lease, it would seem. You are the one changing the agreement he settled on. Why does he need to pay you for not honoring your part of the agreement?
