Yes, you can unless the lease-to-own or rent-to-buy agreement states that you may not sublet. Agreements, clauses, provisions, etc. to not sublet are legal and enforceable; however, in the absence of a contractual agreement to not sub-let, you may (i.e. sub-letting is generally legal, except when there is a restriction on it).
