Where it fits
For roommates who live together and split costs. Use the sublease agreement when a tenant rents out their place or a room formally under their lease, and the residential lease for a lease with the landlord.
Before you rely on it
Original Centilio wording, not legal advice. This agreement does not bind the landlord, so check that the lease allows another occupant, and check any local rules on room rentals, subletting and deposits before you approve it.
