“Sublease” (the verb form) means that person-A has signed a one-year lease but is not using his/her room or apartment for some given length of time. As a way to save money, person-A will try to find person B, who will rent the room/apartment (during the period of time, in which it is not being used). In the areas near UVA, it is most common to find “sublet” (the noun form) opportunities for the summer (when many undergrads are out of town). Sometimes there are opportunities for either the Fall or Spring semester because person-A is out of town for one semester (studying abroad, for example). It is rare to find a sublet for one month or a similarly short period of time.
