You need to examine the lease carefully, but the overwhelming majority of shared ownership leases prevent subletting. The reason for this restriction on subletting is because shared ownership leases are overwhelmingly granted by Housing Associations and leases are offered to persons on the local housing list or to existing tenants of the Housing Association, Local Authority or to key workers public sector workers. You can of course contact your landlord if your circumstances require you to move away from the area or for any other good reason. Please be aware that the landlord has an absolute discretion to allow or to refuse to allow subletting.
