Sublet Vetting Protocol
PROComprehensive tenant screening framework for subletting my apartment safely - credit checks, reference verification, fraud detection, and legal documentation templates.
Example Usage
I’m subletting my 2-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn for 8 months while I’m abroad for work. The rent is $2,400/month and I have expensive furniture and electronics. I’m worried about property damage and rent defaults since I’ll be liable to my landlord. Can you help me create a complete vetting process including: application requirements, credit score minimums, reference verification scripts, a move-in inspection checklist, and a sublease agreement template? I want to make sure I’m legally protected.
