sublets

Renter becomes landlord

Sublets is the plural of sublet—an arrangement where a tenant rents out their leased space to someone else: She found a sublet for the summer while studying abroad.

Also the verb form: He sublets his apartment whenever he travels for work.

Sublets often exist in legal gray areas, as many leases prohibit them without landlord approval.
