Free Commercial Sublease Agreement
Roping in a new subtenant for your commercial lease? Our commercial sublease agreement will help you seal the deal quick and painless.
What You Should Know Before Using Our Commercial Sublease Form
If you poke around our site, you will find that we already have an all-purpose sublet agreement. So why did we go through the pain of crafting another one just for commercial properties?
The answer is simple enough - When you sublease commercial property, you are playing by a different set of rules. While residential laws tend to be more protective of tenants, nothing is set in stone for a commercial sublease. As long as the tenant and subtenant are willing shake on it, almost anything goes for a commercial sublease.
That's why you will find that our commercial sublease form is more lengthy. It's packed with more terms and conditions - which gives you the chance to edit and customize to your heart's content. For a simpler agreement that follows your original lease agreement closely, we suggest you turn to our general sublet agreement instead.
*Make sure this free commercial sublease agreement complies with your local real estate laws before using it. If you have any doubts, you can ask a real estate lawyer online.
