Sub-Leasing At Higher Rate
Is it permissible to lease something for a certain rate and then to sub-lease the same to another for a higher rate?
It is lawful to lease something for a certain amount and then sub-lease it to another for the same amount or for more or less so long as the lessor permits it.

Once the right to the usufruct passes from the first lessee's disposal by means of a later contract of lease it is no longer lawful for the first lessee to use what has passed from his ownership and become a debt owed to him by another.
