Is a contract holder able to sublet?

Sub-letting is not permitted under the occupation contract.

A sub-occupation contract can be for anything from a single room to an entire property. The main difference between a lodger and a subcontract holder is that the subcontract holder pays a contract holder rent to have exclusive access to part of their home usually a bedroom. Subletting is when a contract holder allows a person sole use of their property in exchange of a payment arrangement with the contract holder ceasing to use their property as their main and principle home. It is a criminal offence and carries a penalty of an unlimited fine and up to 2 years imprisonment.
