Correct Answer:
A. 1 yr (no occupancy), 7 yrs (with occupancy)
Tenancy laws often specify conditions under which a tenant can sub-lease without the landlord's explicit consent, balancing tenant flexibility with landlord control. Option A: '1 yr (no occupancy), 7 yrs (with occupancy)' is accurate as it represents a common legal provision allowing sub-leasing for a short term (1 year) without occupancy, or a longer term (7 years) if the sub-lessee occupies the property, all without requiring the landlord's direct approval. This provides specific legal allowances for tenants.
- Option B: '6 months' is generally too short and lacks the crucial distinction regarding occupancy.
- Option C: '3 yrs (no occupancy), 5 yrs (with occupancy)' presents different durations that do not align with the legally specified periods.
- Option D: 'Prohibited' is incorrect, as the law typically provides specific conditions under which sub-leasing without consent is permissible.
