Subletting Laws in Michigan

It's up to your lease to determine if you have the right to sublet in Michigan. A guide issued by state government says that most leases allow a tenant to sublet as long as they get the landlord's approval. But if the original lease agreement is silent then the tenant does not need to seek the landlord’s permission.

Start by checking your lease if you live in Michigan. It will likely require you to get landlord approval, but if it doesn't you don't need to ask for it.
