subletter
Tenant's own tenant
A subletter is someone who rents a property from the original tenant rather than directly from the landlord.
The subletter pays rent to the tenant, who remains responsible to the landlord: We found a subletter to cover our apartment while we were abroad for six months.
Also called a subtenant.
