Renting out a spare room in a rented apartment

Is such a sublet legal, and is it worth it?

I have a spare bedroom in Frankfurt which is currently gathering boxes (cos I'm too lazy to shift them to the cellar). I was thinking this could make me some extra income if I rent it out - but as I rent the apartment myself from my landlord, I don't know if this is allowed/practical? Am I right in thinking this would be called Untermiete?

Does anyone have any advice/info. on this?

Cheers

Yes, this is called Untermiete. You'd have to ask your landlady/lord whether it would be allowed, it requires written consent...

Only if the written consent is required in your lease.
