Sure, no law against it.
That being said, it will be better for you in the end to find a pre-made lease that is created for your state. This will help keep you from inserting language that invalidates the contract and from forgetting language that protects you.
I bought a couple of different lease templates and then created my own.
Now, if you are looking as a renter instead of as a landlord, it is HIGHLY unlikely a landlord would use the contract you provided. Instead, they are going to insist on theirs.

I would leave the actual legal language to someone else. There are places online you can go to get a template for a basic lease. The library should have resources for that as well. In today's litigious society, you want to make sure you have proper legal protection in your lease language. The best bet is to have an attorney either draw up the lease, or review the lease you are going to use.

I doubt it..a lease is a contract and the landlord would have to approve it. Plus who ever you lease to should also fill out an app and submit it to the landlord so they could check out that person before allowing them to live there.
This sounds like the mess my friend got into. She left (her job required it) and so got a sitter for the house she was renting (she needed someone to take care of her dog).
She took a $500 deposit from the sitter, I guess just in case anything might be damaged (carpets, etc). Well she got mad at guy and then kept the deposit and the sitter filed a claim.
All 3 of them ended up in court...the landlord got mad and ended up throwing us out (I was living with her at the time she went to court).
My point is don't going doing things behind the landlord's back.

I've never heard of such a thing. If you're renting an apartment, I think it would be up to the landlord or the rental agency to outline the rules of compliance as it pertains to the terms of the lease, rental agreement, care of the property, and what is and what isn't allowed. Even if a self-styled lease was allowed, I think it would lack validity in the event of an eviction or change in the lease. Also, the lease would tend to be prejudicial in your favor, which is practically unheard of.

Unless you own your apartment ... you cannot write your own lease to sub-lease the apartment.
You must tell your rental company and they have to re-lease the apartment.

I suppose, but it's not a good idea. If you can't afford or don't want a lawyer, there are general lease and legal forms you can buy at any office supply store, and you can fill them out pretty easily.

You could, but I would suggest to get a legal one just in case you have to go to court or something. People suck and you might have to! Do everything legally so you are protected.
