Sublease Agreement
A sublease agreement allows an existing tenant to rent all or part of their leased premises to a new tenant (sublessee) for a portion of the remaining lease term. The original tenant remains responsible to the landlord under the original lease. Most states require landlord consent before subletting. Our platform generates sublease agreements that include all required state-specific provisions and clearly define the rights and obligations of all parties.
