What is a Sublease Agreement?
Sublease Agreements are used to sublet property to a new tenant (ie a ‘subtenant’). Subletting is creating a new tenancy within (or ‘under’) an existing tenancy. A Sublease Agreement sets out the terms of the subtenant’s rental of the property from the original tenant (ie the ‘sublandlord’).
For use in England only.
When should I use a Sublease Agreement?
Use this Sublease Agreement:
- to create a new subtenancy that is an assured shorthold tenancy (AST), which will last for a fixed term
- when the property is already let to a private residential tenant (ie the sublandlord) under an AST
- when the property will be the subtenant's main home
- when the subtenant is a private individual or multiple private individuals (ie not a commercial tenant)
- to sublet a whole property (ie the entirety of the house, flat, or room that the sublandlord rented from their landlord (ie the ‘head landlord’), rather than only part of the property)
- when neither the head landlord nor the sublandlord will be living at the property
- for properties located in England only
