Allow a tenant to find a temporary co-tenant: Consent to Sublease
What is a Consent to Sublease?
Making sure the details of a new sublease agreement are clearly ironed out, and documented, is important for everyone involved—the tenant, the subletter, and the landlord all benefit from a Consent to Sublease. As many landlords don't allow subleasing, if you're the tenant you'll need to check your lease first. Even if it's not allowed according to the lease, you can check with your landlord and you may discover they're amenable to a sublease. And as a landlord, subleasing can ensure continuance of rent payment if your current tenant is unable to fulfill their obligations. Whether you're the tenant, landlord, or potential subletting tenant, everyone can be on the same page, in writing, with a Consent to Sublease.
When to use a Consent to Sublease:
- You want to sublease a room, entire property, or commercial space.
- You're a landlord interested in subleasing options for your tenants.
- You're the one who wants to sublet property.
