(a) Name the law and section of the law that stipulates who has the right to refuse a sublet request

(b) Email the tenant explaining the position regarding their sublet request using the above information. In your email, discuss the 5-step process for sublet approval by the lessor.

(c) Your tenant has emailed you all the information required to apply to the lessor. Draft an email to the lessor seeking the acceptance of the sublet. In your email include the process you will follow to put the sublease in place.

(d) Your email to the lessor is very convincing and the lessor has agreed to the sublet. Email the tenant listing the terms and conditions of the sublet and ask them to reply acceptance by return email.
