It turns out I actually learned something useful in law school. Recently in Property we learned about the difference between subletting and assigning an interest in a tenancy. This turned out to be really handy because I need to give up my apartment this summer and apparently I'd rather assign my interest and not just sublet. I didn't know that was possible to do before. Thanks, law school!

Good luck getting your landlord to consent to this :)

Since she requested that the "sublettor" pay her directly, I'd say she already has agreed to it, and in fact requested it, although perhaps without knowing what she was technically requesting. We did also discuss the arrangements earlier, when I indicated I wanted to transfer any liability I might have to the new person, and she voiced no objection and has said doesn't have a preference for the particular agreement the new person signs with me. Also, it turns out that the sublettor is the tenant for the new lease in the fall so I have that on my side as well.
