Indiana Subletting & assignment

Can a tenant sublet an apartment in Indiana?

Indiana's landlord-tenant statutes (Ind. Code title 32, art. 31) have no rule on whether a tenant needs the landlord's consent to sublet or assign; the lease controls. Under Ind. Code § 32-31-1-12, a sublessee has the same remedy under the original lease against the chief landlord as against the immediate lessor, and under § 32-31-1-13 an alienee of a lessor or lessee has the same legal remedies as the lessor or lessee. Local ordinances or other state or federal laws may still apply.
