I want to move out of my apartment. I have 3 months on my lease and I have found a friend who wants to stay there. Will this be a problem for the landlord? I will still pay the rent (my friend will just pay me). He seems to have an issue with a lot of things which is why I don't want to ask if I can sublet. Just wondering if he can keep my security deposit should he find out my friend has been staying there.
You can, but you may be in breach of your lease. Your landlord may or may not care as long as the rent comes in. Of course, if your so-called friend doesn't come through, you will be on the hook.
