FAQ: Sublet Agreement Template

  • A residential subleasing agreement is a legally binding document between two parties (the tenant, aka the person under who’s name the property is originally on rent, and the sub tenant), which says that the sub tenant will occupy the rental property for a given period of time in exchange for rent. Such agreements are usually short-term.

  • A sublease agreement functions as a legally binding document that’s used to appoint a new tenant to take over the responsibilities of the current tenant. To do so, the landlord’s approval must be obtained, and the landlord’s express permission must be included within the document.

    This type of document is used in special cases, such as when a tenant wants to let someone live in their rented property while they’re traveling. It also applies when a roommate is moving out and wants to let someone in their place.

  • Writing a sublet lease agreement involves taking into account certain clauses to disclose all information to the subletter. This will save the landlord a lot of problems in the future in case of misunderstandings.

    Among the most common clauses in a simple sublease agreement template, we can find:

    • Cost of rent

    • Responsibility for repairs

    • Duration of the sublease

    • Utilities to be paid

    • Terms of use

    • Security deposit

    • Landlord’s express permission

    • Signatures of parties involved

    • Other relevant terms

  • The legality of subletting depends on state to state. For example, in certain states in the U.S., such as Ohio, Massachusetts, Washington, etc., there are no laws on subletting. In other states like Alaska, California, Arizona, etc., a subletting agreement requires the consent of the landlord. In states like Georgia and Hawaii, you’re legally allowed to sublet if stated in your agreement.
