Even though I am essentially a subletter (or rather an assignee(?), because this is not subletting, but lease assignment or re-letting), no document I signed states this. Does this mean I should be treated as a subletter/assignee?
What's also interesting here, the landlord's procedure of re-letting in my agreement looks as follows:
Residents find a replacement Resident acceptable to Landlord before moving out and Landlord expressly consents to the replacement, then:
a) Such substitute Resident will be obligated to the standard application fee, which shall be immediately due and payable;
b) The departing Resident must pay for all damage to the Unit and the Property as provided in this Lease;
c) The replacement Resident must meet the Rental Qualifications Criteria and Acknowledgement;
d) The replacement Resident must fully complete and execute a new Lease and all addenda, and cause a new Guarantee to
be executed and delivered;
e) A rekeying fee will be due if rekeying is requested or required; and
f) The departing Resident will no longer remain liable for all Lease Contract obligations for the rest of the original Lease Contract term.
