SUBLEASE AGREEMENT

This Sublease Agreement (the "Sublease") is entered into as of {{sublease_date}} by and between:

Sublessor (the original tenant):
Name: {{sublessor_name}}
Address: {{sublessor_address}}
Phone: {{sublessor_phone}}
Email: {{sublessor_email}}

Sublessee (the new occupant):
Name: {{sublessee_name}}
Current address: {{sublessee_address}}
Phone: {{sublessee_phone}}
Email: {{sublessee_email}}

1. Premises and master lease

1.1. The Sublessor subleases to the Sublessee the premises at {{premises_address}} (the "Premises"), consisting of {{premises_description}}.
1.2. The Sublessor holds the Premises under a lease dated {{master_lease_date}} with the landlord, {{landlord_name}} (the "Master Lease").
1.3. The landlord consented to this sublease in writing on {{landlord_consent_date}}. Almost every residential lease either forbids subletting outright or requires the landlord's written consent; subletting without it is a breach that can end both the Master Lease and this Sublease.
1.4. The Sublessee has received a copy of the Master Lease and agrees to be bound by all of its terms that apply to the Premises.
1.5. The Sublessor remains liable to the landlord for rent and for the condition of the Premises for the whole of the Master Lease.

2. Term

2.1. The Sublease begins on {{start_date}} and ends on {{end_date}}.
2.2. The Sublease ends no later than the Master Lease, whatever the date in section 2.1 says. If the Master Lease ends early, this Sublease ends on the same day and the Sublessor shall tell the Sublessee as soon as the Sublessor learns of it.
2.3. Holding over after the end date does not create a new term unless both parties sign a written extension.

3. Rent and charges

3.1. The Sublessee shall pay rent of ${{monthly_rent}} per month, due on day {{rent_due_day}} of each month.
3.2. Payment shall be made by {{payment_method}}.
3.3. Rent for a partial first or last month is prorated on a daily basis.
3.4. In addition to rent, the Sublessee shall pay: {{additional_charges}}
3.5. A late fee of ${{late_fee}} applies to rent more than {{late_fee_days}} days overdue, to the extent that late fee is permitted by the law of {{governing_state}}.

4. Security deposit

4.1. The Sublessee shall pay a security deposit of ${{security_deposit}} before taking possession.
4.2. The deposit secures unpaid rent and the cost of repairing damage beyond ordinary wear and tear.
4.3. The deposit, less any deductions itemized in writing, will be returned within {{deposit_return_days}} days after the Sublessee surrenders possession. State law caps how large a deposit may be and how long the holder has to return it; the figures above must stay within those limits.

5. Use and condition of the premises

5.1. The Premises shall be used only as a private residence, by no more than {{max_occupants}} occupants.
5.2. The Sublessee shall not make alterations, keep pets or smoke on the Premises without the written consent of both the Sublessor and the landlord. An assistance animal or service animal needed by a person with a disability is not a pet: a request to keep one is handled as a reasonable accommodation under the Fair Housing Act, and no pet fee or pet deposit applies to it.
5.3. Utilities paid by the Sublessee: {{utilities_paid_by_sublessee}}
5.4. Meter readings at move-in: {{meter_readings}}
5.5. The parties shall record the condition of the Premises in a written move-in inspection and repeat it at move-out. Both parties are entitled to a copy.
5.6. Lead-based paint: The building containing the Premises was built in {{year_built}}. If it was built before 1978, the following disclosure is part of this Sublease and must be completed before the Sublessee is obligated under it.
Lead Warning Statement: Housing built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint. Lead from paint, paint chips, and dust can pose health hazards if not managed properly. Lead exposure is especially harmful to young children and pregnant women. Before renting pre-1978 housing, lessors must disclose the presence of known lead-based paint and/or lead-based paint hazards in the dwelling. Lessees must also receive a federally approved pamphlet on lead poisoning prevention.
- Sublessor's disclosure: the Sublessor {{lead_paint_disclosure}}.
- Known lead-based paint or hazards, and records or reports available to the Sublessor: {{lead_paint_records}}
- Sublessee's acknowledgment: by signing this Sublease, the Sublessee confirms having received the information above, copies of any records listed, and the pamphlet "Protect Your Family From Lead in Your Home".
- Certification: by signing this Sublease, the parties certify that the information they have provided in this disclosure is true and accurate to the best of their knowledge.

6. General

6.1. This Sublease is governed by the law of {{governing_state}}.
6.2. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
6.3. This document, together with the Master Lease, is the entire agreement between the parties. Changes must be in writing and signed by both.
6.4. This template is not legal advice. Subletting rules, deposit caps and notice periods are set by state and often by city ordinance.
