Hello and Welcome to JustAnswer. My name is***** will be working on your question today and I am looking forward to our conversation.

Please note that the experts don’t text so there may be a bit of a delay. If you don’t answer back for a while I may not be online when you do but I will never desert you and will check back often. As well, as I am working from home it is possible that I will be interrupted but I will always return back as soon as I can.

I am sorry to hear of this difficult situation.

Do you share a bathroom or kitchen with your landlord?

First, you can have whomever you want stay overnight. The law is clear.

The law is that your landlord does need to consent to a sub-let but it is unlawful for him to deny his consent unreasonably.

And that provision in the lease is void as it is illegal to put that into a lease.

So you can tell him you won't be paying rent for the time when a sub-tenant could be living there and he refused and that you are happy to have a the landlord tenant board decide.

Does that help?

It would be the same thing as a sublet. He has to consent but he cannot unreasonably deny consent.

That the person is a criminal?

There really aren't any.

No. Definitely not.

He needs grounds to evict you and there aren't any.

There are no required documents though some would want a written lease with the sub-tenant.

Not if you aren't there and also he can come and try and throw her out.

I suggest you call the landlord tenant board tomorrow to discuss.

That's the question of the season. COVID has made things very slow.

Do you mean November 28th?

You likely won't even be able to get through to the Board by then.

But try. They will not be able to resolve anything but you can ask if they can direct where you can find something from them to provide to the landlord.

You are very welcome.
