Yes Rent to rent is legal

Firstly, Subletting is legal if the tenant obtains the landlords permission to let out the rental property.

Just to elaborate:

When renting accommodation many tenants rent directly from a landlord who owns the property. However, it’s also possible to rent from another tenant who has rented the property from the owner. This is called subletting. 

Most tenants need their landlord’s permission before they can sublet all or part of their home. As long as the permission is granted by the landlord /owner it is legal
