Daughter, professional, secure salaried job, 30ish, seeks accomodation, a step up from student acc.

I have suggested she contact estate agents/web sites etc for a 2 roomed apartment,
with the view to sub-let the second room. She would be able to take on lease and prove that she
could, if necessary, manage the outgoings by herself, if necessary.

SWMBO says that it is illegal to sub-let.

I would appreciate comments to settle family dispute.

The Property Management Company I do a little work for will not allow
sub-letting, and do take exception to anyone else (even close family
members) living in one of their properties without prior approval.
They do everything 'by the book' , so I would expect their view to be
similar to other Companies.

I doubt that it is 'illegal', but it may well be breaking the terms of
the lease/rental agreement.

Private Landlords can be a little more relaxed about such things, so
that may be the way to go, but if I was a Landlord, I would be a little
peeved to find a room in one of my houses being rented out to someone I
do not know.

It really does depend on the terms of the lease. There are also insurance
issues to be considered.

And if the tenancy agreement is silent, s15 of the Housing Act 1988
will act to provide a prohibition on assignment or subletting.

Yes, almost certainly (though the section ums and ahs a bit about it)
that would bite. Interestingly if the agreement did have a covenant
against subletting without agreement then s.19 of the Landlord and
Tenant Act 1927 would apply and the landlord would not be able to
unreasonably hold its permission for the subletting.

A joint tenancy is a much better option and more likely to be
attractive to landlords, although it would permit the other tenant to
give notice which would be undesirable.

Illegal - no - as this is civil. Depends on what the lease says and
whether or not landlords are prepared to give permissions.

What is the position if a person owns a leasehold, in respect of which,
your employer is the freeholder, and that leaseholder wants to let a
part or the whole of his estate?

It would depend enormously on the nature of the leasehold estate (how
long, why etc) and the nature of the agreement (if any) that created
it.
