As I mentioned last week, in almost every written lease there is a prohibition against subletting without the landlord’s (usually written) consent. I also mentioned that adding or replacing a roommate is subletting. Why do you need the landlord’s consent? Because it says so in the lease and you will be in breach of the lease if you don’t get his consent.

Bad Master Tenant
The truly bad master tenant collects all of the roommates’ rent and then, for whatever reason, doesn’t pay the landlord. Usually you find out about the problem too late, after you’ve been named in an eviction lawsuit (unlawful detainer) or an eviction notice from the sheriff is posted on your door.
