+> disallow ignoring the unsubscribe method returned by the `subscribe()` on Svelte stores.
+
+- :exclamation: <badge text="This rule has not been released yet." vertical="middle" type="error"> **_This rule has not been released yet._** </badge>
+
+## :book: Rule Details
+
+This rule fails if an "unsubscriber" returned by call to `subscribe()` is neither assigned to a variable or property or passed to a function.
+
+One should always unsubscribe from a store when it is no longer needed. Otherwise, the subscription will remain active and constitute a **memory leak**.
+This rule helps to find such cases by ensuring that the unsubscriber (the return value from the store's `subscribe` method) is not ignored.
+

+<!--eslint-skip-->
+
+```svelte
+<script>
+  /* eslint svelte/no-ignored-unsubscribe: "error" */
+
+  import myStore from './my-stores';
+
+  /* ✓ GOOD */
+  const unsubscribe = myStore.subscribe(() => {});
+
+  /* ✗ BAD */
+  myStore.subscribe(() => {});
+</script>
+```
