WHEN SUB-LETTING, HAVE A SUB-TENANCY AGREEMENT

WHEN SUB-LETTING, HAVE A SUB-TENANCY AGREEMENT

One careless sub-letting decision can drag a Landlord, Tenant and sub-tenant into unnecessary issues.

That is why you need a Sub-Tenancy Agreement.

A Sub-Tenancy Agreement is a legal contract with which a Tenant rents out part or all of a rented property to another person, known as the sub-tenant.

When well prepared by a Property Lawyer, it sets out the rent, duration, duties, rights and remedies of everyone involved, giving each party solid legal foundation.

Many people wrongly assume that an oral agreement or a handwritten note is enough.

A poorly drafted or incomplete document can create confusion over rent, repairs, possession, liability for damage and even who has the legal right to stay in the property.

Those mistakes frequently end in costly disagreements and litigation.

Before any tenant sublets a property, the terms of the main tenancy should first be examined.

In many cases, the Landlord’s consent may be required. Ignoring this step can amount to a breach of the tenancy and exposes the Tenant and Sub-Tenant to avoidable legal consequences.

Get an experienced Property Lawyer to prepare or review your Sub-Tenancy Agreement.

At Apex Chambers, we emphasize that every agreement should be carefully prepared, in order to protect your interests, reduce legal risks and help prevent disputes.

Sublet without running into avoidable issues.
