sublet apartment . Is it legal?

Hi.  My landlord is giving me grief because we need to sublet our apartment.  Does anyone know if we are allowed to? We understand that it is totally legal. Please advise!

It is legal to sublet up to 2 years if you ask the landlord beforehand (by letter). You will still be responsible for the rent.

According to the law, the landlord can only refuse subletting under certain conditions, basically if you're earning money on the sublet:


https://www.admin.ch/opc/fr/classified-compilation/19110009/index.html#a262


Le locataire peut sous-louer tout ou partie de la chose avec le consentement du bailleur.

2 Le bailleur ne peut refuser son consentement que:

a.    si le locataire refuse de lui communiquer les conditions de la sous-location;
b.    si les conditions de la sous-location, comparées à celles du contrat de bail principal, sont abusives;
c.    si la sous-location présente pour le bailleur des inconvénients majeurs.

3 Le locataire est garant envers le bailleur que le sous-locataire n'emploiera la chose qu'à l'usage autorisé par le bail principal. Le bailleur peut s'adresser directement au sous-locataire à l'effet de l'y obliger.
