Yes- renting out is against most lease agreements, but in this case: No- the lease agreement was a custom lease agreement set up by OP. How do I know? I used to live there.
Hey Patrick, thanks! Hows it going? Pretty stressful here.. give me a call and we'll talk sometime.
Why even bring this up?
Because it sounds suspicious, and may lessen the credibility of the OP.
Also, it's a house, not an apartment.
I have also spoken to the landlord about this. We are on good terms.
