Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Tenant shall have the right to sublet the Demised Premises under the following terms and conditions: if Tenant is intending to sublet the Demised Premises to a third party, Tenant must first present to the Landlord the terms and conditions of the proposed sublease with the new Tenant. This proposal must be delivered in writing to the Landlord sixty (60) days prior to the date on which the sublease is to take effect. Upon receipt, Landlord shall have the irrevocable right to recapture the Demised Premises presently leased to Tenant, which right must be exercised within ten (10) days of the receipt of the written notice from Tenant herein. If Landlord agrees to recapture the Demised Premises, then in that event the Tenant shall have no right to sublet the Demised Premises to a third party. However, if the Landlord opts not to recapture the space leased to Tenant, then the Tenant shall have the right to sublet the Demised Premises under the further condition that Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference between the rent Tenant currently pays to the Landlord under the terms and conditions of this Lease and the rent to be paid by the subtenant to Tenant. Additionally, should Landlord fail to respond within the said ten (10) day period to Tenant, then Tenant shall have the right to sublet the Demised Premises under the terms and conditions set forth in this paragraph. Despite any sublease or assignment of the Lease, Tenant shall remain liable under the Lease.

What is the Right to Sublet?

The “Right to Sublet” is a clause or provision within a lease agreement that allows a tenant to rent out their leased premises to another party, known as a subtenant, while still maintaining responsibility under the original lease. This right permits the tenant to transfer some of their lease obligations and use of the property without breaking the terms of the lease agreement with the landlord.

When Should I Use the Right to Sublet?

The Right to Sublet can be particularly useful in the following scenarios:

  • Temporary Relocation: If you need to move temporarily for work, travel, or personal reasons but plan to return before your lease expires.
  • Financial Constraints: If maintaining rent payments has become burdensome, subletting can help alleviate financial pressure by sharing costs or delegating responsibility temporarily.
  • Change in Housing Needs: If your housing needs change before your lease ends, such as needing more space or living with a partner, subletting allows flexibility without prematurely ending the lease.

How Do I Write a Right to Sublet Clause?

When drafting a Right to Sublet clause, consider the following key elements:

  1. Landlord Approval: Specify whether landlord approval is required before subletting.
  2. Terms and Conditions: Outline any conditions under which subletting is allowed, such as restrictions on the duration or criteria for selecting a subtenant.
  3. Tenant Obligations: Reaffirm that the original tenant remains liable for rent and damages, regardless of the subtenant’s actions.
  4. Subtenant Responsibilities: Clarify what responsibilities the subtenant will assume, including adherence to the original lease terms.

Example: “The Tenant shall have the right to sublet the premises with the prior written consent of the Landlord. The Tenant remains responsible for all obligations under this lease, and the subtenant must comply with all lease terms and conditions.”

Which Contracts Typically Contain the Right to Sublet?

The Right to Sublet is typically found in the following types of contracts:

  • Residential Lease Agreements: Often included in leases for apartments, houses, or condos, recognizing the tenant’s potential need to sublet under certain conditions.
  • Commercial Lease Agreements: Businesses leasing office space or retail locations may negotiate the right to sublet to facilitate downsizing or temporary relocation.
  • Sublease Agreements: A separate contract between the original tenant and the subtenant, detailing the arrangement agreed upon for subleasing the premises.
