It is hard to answer a question with no facts. Basically, the answer is sometimes.

A party who does not own but has leased property, can sublease it to another if the underlying lease allows it or if the landlord permits.

Also, a property manager often has a power of attorney to act for the owner to lease the property to third parties.

I am not sure if this answers your question, but hopefully it will give you some information.
