Sublease Agreement Between Attorneys

A sublease involves the leasing of all or part of a leased property. A sublessee is someone who has the right to use and occupy rental property leased by a lessee from a lessor. A sublessee has responsibilities to both the original lessor and the sublessor. A lessee must often get the consent of the lessor before subletting rental property to a sublessee. The lessee still remains responsible for the payment of rent to the lessor and any damages to the property caused by the sublessee.
