Sublease Agreement

A sublease agreement is a legal document that allows a Tenant (the “sublessor”) who is currently renting a property from a Landlord to rent out the same property, or a portion of it, to another person (the “sublessee”). This arrangement doesn’t change the original lease agreement between the Tenant and the Landlord; instead, it adds a new layer where the Tenant becomes a landlord to the sublessee.
