What is a Subletting Agreement?

A Subletting Agreement is a legal contract that allows tenants to rent part or all of their leased space to subtenants, subject to landlord approval and compliance with original lease terms. Essential for tenants facing temporary relocation, financial difficulties, or shared living arrangements, and for subtenants seeking short-term housing solutions, this agreement establishes clear rental terms, responsibilities, and legal protections. The contract typically covers rent payments, lease compliance, utility arrangements, security deposits, occupancy rules, and termination procedures. Critical for original tenants who need to maintain their lease obligations while generating rental income, and for subtenants who require documented housing arrangements with clear rights and responsibilities under subletting laws and landlord requirements.
