Property Management
An Iowa tenant subleases their apartment without landlord consent. Under a standard lease with a no-sublease clause, the landlord may:
AEvict the subtenant only
BSue the original tenant for breach of contract and potentially terminate the lease✓ Correct
CCollect double rent from both the tenant and subtenant
DDo nothing, as subleases are always valid in Iowa
Explanation
If a lease prohibits subletting and a tenant subleases anyway, the landlord may sue for breach and potentially pursue eviction, as the original tenant has violated a material lease term.
