Understanding Sublease
A sublease is a legal agreement in which a tenant rents out all or part of a rented property to another party, known as the subtenant. The original tenant remains responsible for the lease agreement with the landlord, but the subtenant assumes the responsibilities of paying rent and following the terms of the sublease agreement. Subleasing allows the original tenant to temporarily vacate the property while still maintaining their lease obligations, and provides an opportunity for the subtenant to rent a property without committing to a long-term lease.
