Allowing existing tenant to sublease.

Hi

I would really appreciate thoughts/ advice from the SS community regarding a moral dilemma.

I have leased a 3 bedroom 2.5 bathroom to a young couple in Labrador.

Yesterday the agent phoned to say that the tenants had requested permission to allow an additional tenant to move in. The agent ran a probity check on the additional tenant - job, income etc, and all is good.

However when I asked the agent how much we could add to the rent, thinking $20 - $30 pw, I was told that we can't alter the rent until the 12 month lease expires. My response was to say "no" to the additional tenant.

I now feel guilty by saying "no", and my wife says my decision will attract bad karma.

I would appreciate thoughts / advice from the SS community - should I relent and allow the additional tenant.

Tony
