sublocação — subletting rented housing

When housing is let not by the owner but by someone who is renting it themselves — for example, when you let a room in a rented flat. It is legal only with the landlord's written consent; for tax purposes, what counts is the difference between what you receive and what you pay.

Where you come across it. Letting a room in a rented flat; co-living contracts.
Subletting without the landlord's consent is grounds for ending your tenancy. And no expenses can be deducted from that difference when subletting.
