Is a subtenant taking over your lease or sharing the rent? Then our free sublet agreement form will rope him or her into your lease family right now.
In most lease agreements, you will find a sublease clause that requires a nod from the landlord before you can have subtenants running around on the property. So squeezing a yes from your landlord is the first hurdle that you will have to leap over.
We don't want to be a wet blanket, but subletting isn't all fun and games. Since your name is on the lease agreement, that makes you the main tenant (sublessor)... And that also makes you responsible for your subtenant's every move. If your precious subtenant wrecks the place or skips the rent, guess who the landlord is going to hound? Nope, not him or her.
So don't go around asking random strangers for their autographs on your sublet agreement template. Before inking a sublet lease agreement, you need to screen and choose potential subtenants just like a regular landlord.
Have everyone fill up a rental application form, arrange for face to face interviews and once you have your finalists... run a credit check on every single one with a dependable tenant screening website such as E-Renter.
