As the primary tenant, you are obliged to pay rent to the landlord on time, have the risk of being evicted if the subtenant misbehaves and is liable to the landlord for damages that the subtenant causes. It is therefore important to have a written lease contract with the subtenant, to regulate the terms and conditions between you as primary tenant and the subtenant.
