Terminate which lease? Let's say I rent an apartment from landlord A. We are cool. Now tenant B rents the apartment next door from landlord C, and promptly lists it on Airbnb.

I am not a party to the contract between B and C, so can't do anything to terminate that lease. My landlord A hasn't done anything to breach our contract, so I have no grounds to terminate that. So I'm SOL.



C might be willing to terminate the lease, especially if it is exposing them to liabilities they don't want. And as the sibling comment mentions, C might need to deal with the situation to live up so some other agreement.

But sure, I was thinking from the perspective of the owner, not a neighbor.


I'd look into the home-owner association's by-laws that usually regulate renting activity in the building.
