2. The main lease

Landlord under the Main Lease: Landlord under the main lease

Date of the Main Lease: Date of the main lease

How the landlord consented to this sublease: How the landlord consented

The Subtenant follows the rules of the Main Lease that apply to the Sublet Space and does nothing that would put the Sublandlord in breach of it. If this sublease conflicts with the Main Lease, the Main Lease applies.

3. Term

The sublease starts on: Start date

The sublease ends on: End date

This sublease cannot last longer than the Main Lease. The Subtenant moves out by the end date unless both parties, and the landlord where the Main Lease requires it, agree in writing to extend it.

4. Rent

Rent per month: Rent per month

The rent is due on this day of each month: the 1st

How the rent is paid: How the rent is paid

The Sublandlord gives the Subtenant a receipt for any payment made in cash. The Sublandlord keeps paying the full rent under the Main Lease to the landlord on time.

5. Deposit

Deposit: Deposit

The Sublandlord holds the deposit as the law requires and returns it within the time the law sets after the Subtenant moves out, less unpaid rent and the cost of repairing damage the Subtenant or guests caused beyond normal wear and tear. The Sublandlord gives the Subtenant a written list of any deductions.

6. Utilities

Utilities and services the Subtenant pays for, or that are included in the rent:

Utilities

7. Condition and moving out

The Subtenant takes the Sublet Space in its condition on the start date, and the parties may record that condition in writing or photos. The Subtenant keeps the Sublet Space clean, tells the Sublandlord promptly about damage or needed repairs, and pays for damage the Subtenant or guests cause beyond normal wear and tear. At the end of the sublease, the Subtenant leaves the Sublet Space clean, returns all keys and removes all belongings.

8. Responsibility to the landlord

The Sublandlord stays responsible to the landlord for every duty under the Main Lease, including the rent. This sublease creates no agreement between the Subtenant and the landlord. The Sublandlord promptly passes on to the landlord any repair request that is the landlord's to fix.

9. Ending

If either party breaks a material term of this sublease, the other party may end it as the law where the home is allows. If the Main Lease ends early for any reason, this sublease ends at the same time, the Sublandlord tells the Subtenant as soon as possible, and the Sublandlord refunds any rent paid for the time after that. Nothing in this sublease takes away a right the law gives a tenant or a subtenant.

10. Governing law

This sublease is governed by the laws of:

Governing law

11. Whole agreement

This sublease is the whole agreement between the parties about the Sublet Space. A change is valid only in writing signed by both parties. If a term cannot be enforced, the rest of the sublease still applies.

THE RIGHT TEMPLATE

Where it fits

For a tenant who rents out their place or a room under their own lease. Use the roommate agreement when people share a home and split costs, and the residential lease when the owner rents directly.

A CAREFUL CHECK

Before you rely on it

Original Centilio wording, not legal advice. Most leases need the landlord's written consent to sublet, and some places limit the rent or deposit a subtenant can be charged or add notice rules. Check the Main Lease and the law where the home is before you approve it.
