subtenant

Renter's own renter

A subtenant is someone who rents property from a tenant rather than directly from the owner or landlord.

The arrangement requires the original tenant to sublet all or part of their rented space: The subtenant paid rent to me, and I paid the landlord.

Subtenants typically have fewer legal protections than primary tenants.
