Learn more about Sublease Agreement in India
A Sublease Agreement is a contract that permits a renter to sublease a space that they are already renting. Typically, the Sublet Agreement is signed by the original tenant and a new renter. Before subletting your property, you must secure it and hold the new tenant liable for any damages. In general, the Sublease Agreement follows the terms and conditions of the original Lease Agreement between the Landlord and the Tenant, except that the Landlord is not participating in the process. Before a tenant starts the subletting process, the underlying lease agreement must be evaluated to determine that subletting is permissible, and permission from the Landlord must be obtained. Download this Sublease Agreement in English and Word format to ensure that your new renter understands terms and risks before subleasing the property.

What is a Sublease Agreement?
A sublet is when a tenant rents property to a third party for a portion of the tenant’s current lease contract. Even if a renter sublets a property, the original tenant is still responsible for the lease agreement’s responsibilities, such as monthly rent payment. Subletting with the landlord’s permission is permitted in India. If the agreement allows it, the tenant may sublet a portion of the property to a third party. Subleasing occurs when a tenant whose name appears on the lease rents a room, a piece of the property, or the entire property to another (or subletting). The subtenant must pay rent and follow the lease requirements, but the primary tenant is ultimately liable for the lease.
What is included in the Sublease Agreement?
A Sublease Agreement must be highly precise and all-inclusive of the expectations of the original tenant and the landlord of the property in order to be effective. Ensuring that all of the information a subletter will want is contained in the Sublease Agreement can help avoid future legal disputes, since the sublease agreement is used to establish what legal actions original tenants, landlords, and subletters can seek.
