Hi, I am currently renting a 2 bedroom apartment for $1000/month. Now, I`m starting to think a house would be better for me in terms of lifestyle (wanting a dog) and also wallet. My question is (of course) regarding my wallet. Say I rent a 4 bedrooms apartment for $1300/month. Can I, as a lessee, rent out other bedrooms that I am not using to others? I would be the only person signed to the lease and making the final cheque to the owner every month, but can I legally get other people to come live in the house and they pay me rent? Essentially, it would be like me being the owner of the property except I don`t own it.
I think I am overthinking this. To simplify, I rent a house. There are spare rooms, so I rent those out and split the rent. Do I need permission from the owner of the property for anything involving roommates moving in/out as the only person signed to the lease? Or do the owner just care about the rent being paid?
note: i never rented a house before, so I`m clueless.
