[ - ] DH and I need to move out of the city so DC can go to good public schools..... BUT we love our apartment and living in the city. Should we sublet our apt out for the next fifteen years and move back in when our kids go to college? Are we crazy? 10 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

that sounds ideal to me. You could always sell if you change your mind. My sister moved to LI and is doing that. If you dont need the $ for a sdown payment, Id say go for it! [ Reply | More

landlord has to agree to sublet, but only up to 2 years. no landlord is going to agree to a 15-year sublet [ Reply | More

if you can afford to buy elsewhere while keeping your apartment...and can weather times without renters.. sure! it always pays to have real estate especially in manhattan. [ Reply | More

you are assuming she owns the apartment she wants to sublet...don't think this is the case because she would have just said rent [ Reply | More

I agree w/this. We own real estate in Manhattan and would never allow a tenant to sublease for 15 years, You can keep in touch w/us and maybe in 18 years we will rerent to you again [ Reply | More

OP here. We do own the apt (2 BR on the UWS near Columbia). So I think we would always have renters. Our coop board is pretty lenient about approving sublets. So we might do this (won't start until 2009-2010 school year since that's when DCs start K). [ Reply | More
