Draft sublet or Roommate Departure Agreement Letter with an escalation ladder and an evidence checklist.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
Write a letter to a landlord about a roommate leaving or a sublet arrangement. Inputs I will provide: landlord [LANDLORD_NAME], current occupants [OCCUPANTS], who is leaving and when [DEPARTURE_DETAILS], proposed replacement [REPLACEMENT_DETAILS], lease terms I know of [LEASE_TERMS]. The draft must ask for written consent to the change, describe the replacement, confirm who is responsible for rent, and request a deposit transfer arrangement. What to collect first: the lease and the names on it, the date the roommate is leaving, how the deposit and rent will be split, who the replacement is if any, and the landlord's rules on changes. Realistic outcomes to ask for: the landlord's written consent to the change, an updated agreement or addendum, and a clear statement of who is responsible for the deposit. They will often answer: "A new tenant must complete an application and a credit check." Answer by asking for the form, the fee and the timeline, and offer to supply references. For the sublet or roommate departure agreement letter, ask me questions one at a time, beginning with the biggest gaps, and draft the letter only when I say ready. Return the finished letter and a 60-word cover note, then the ordered next steps if there is no reply (a follow-up call, then an amended lease request, then tenant advice), and a proof checklist (lease, roommate agreement, references for the replacement), then a proof-of-delivery tip. Send the letter as a PDF and paste the text into the message, and archive a screenshot of the sent folder showing date and time and ask for a reply confirming receipt. Read this as a writing task, not legal advice, so do not assert my rights. Compose the letter in my own voice as an ordinary person, without posing as counsel, and skip any letterhead I did not give you. Do a completeness check on my inputs first and note each statement lacking proof. Leave all legal citations and cut-off dates to me; work from [JURISDICTION] and [RELEVANT_LAW_OR_POLICY_IF_KNOWN], and remind me to check the exact law with a qualified professional or a local consumer agency. Make it firm without heat, with nothing hostile or exaggerated, and use only the deadline I set in [DEADLINE].

Dear Ms. Ortega, I am writing to confirm that my roommate Jo Park will move out of Unit 5B on 30 November. I ask your written consent to release Jo from the shared rent after that date and to list me, Sam Reilly, as the sole tenant at 640 per month. I have the rent and deposit records and can meet to sign any paperwork. Please reply by 15 November. Regards, Sam Reilly Cover note: confirm what your lease says about changes of tenants and keep any reply. A housing adviser can check it.
