Can a tenant, who is leasing a house from me, rent a room to someone else without my approval?

It is not unlawful for a tenant to rent out a portion of their unit to another person and even collect rent from that person. The lease agreement is still valid with the tenants that signed the lease, unfortunately the landlord does not have any recourse in this case, and the additional person is not considered an unauthorized occupant as long as the tenants are still living there as well.
