Yes, renters can potentially profit from subletting, but it's important to approach the process carefully and ethically, considering both legal and practical aspects. As the original tenant, you have the flexibility to set the rent for the subtenant. You can choose to charge the same rent you pay to the landlord or adjust it based on factors like market rates, utilities, furnishings, and other amenities. Any amount you charge beyond your own rental costs could potentially lead to a profit.
