I plan on sublet few rooms. However the apartment require me to get written content from landlord. So I asked through email. The landlord refuse to say no or yes. She keep try to dodge the question by give me answer she think I want to hear. The nearest answer I could get from her was "ok let me know how the apt is doing" which isn't the answer I need.
So I'm think about go ahead and sublet the rooms. If she try to do anything, I can tell her she never say no or yes, so that mean she doesn't care. So if she try to press charge or anything, I can tell the court that she basically make things vague so she can change rules that is on contract accord to her liking without informing anyone. Will this work?
I believe it's illegal to make a contract then change rules without informing the signer. Am I correct?

btw the whole consveration is on email. I even tell her "if that's not allows, please say no right away" She didn't say no at all. She simply avoid answering the question and try to talk about other subiect.

Check your lease to see what it says about sub-letting, and go by what your lease says. That way you're protected in court.

Usually the contract that you signed when you move in will say whether you are allowed to sublet your apartment. The first answerer is also correct, you will be responsible for any damage caused. You really need to just call the landlord or go by her office and ask her in person. Then get it in writing if she will allow you to sublet.

The rules require WRITTEN consent. So, if you don't have that you shouldn't sub-let.
If the manager won't give you a firm answer then go to the owners of the building or whoever the manager's boss is.

If you don't get permission (and get it in writing) from the landlord, then if you sublet and any damage that is done is your responsibility.

lets assume she "says" yes you may sublet. your first sentence " REQUIRE WRITTEN CONSENT" so the answer is "NO " "ANY CHANGES TO A CONTRACT MUST BE IN WRITING"

Without express written permission you could be evicted and liable for damages from any sub-letters. BE CAREFUL.

Yes you can get into trouble, simple, don't do it without consent.
