How long can I sublet my apartment?
The subletting duration can vary depending on your lease agreement and local regulations. Typically, sublets can range from 1 month to 12 months, but you should always check your lease and local laws first.
How do payments work?
Payments are handled directly between the subletter and the tenant. We recommend using secure payment methods and always getting everything in writing. Consider using a formal sublease agreement for protection.
Is my information secure?

What if I need to cancel my listing?
You can remove or deactivate your listing at any time through your account dashboard. If you've already connected with a potential subletter, we recommend communicating with them directly about any changes.
What is sublet.directory's role in transactions?
sublet.directory acts solely as a platform connecting subletters and tenants. We do not handle payments, verify listings, or act as a party in any agreements. While we strive to maintain a safe platform, users are responsible for verifying information, conducting due diligence, and protecting themselves against potential scams. We recommend meeting in person, verifying identities, and never sending payments before signing proper documentation or viewing the property.
How can I protect myself from scams?
Always exercise caution when subletting. Some safety tips: Meet in person or do a video call before sending any payments, verify the subletter's identity and their right to sublet, get everything in writing, use secure payment methods, and trust your instincts. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Never wire money or send cash to someone you haven't met, and be wary of people who can't meet in person or show you the property.
