To know what rights you have as a subletter, as well as if you're allowed to be there in the first place, make sure to read the original lease between the landlord and the original renter before signing a sublet agreement. Also know that you have the chance to negotiate a rental price with the original renter.
Writing Your Sublease. State the name of the parties and the date of the contract. Identify the full names of each party and what their role is in the contract. The original leaseholder of the property is the Tenant and the person subletting the property is the Subtenant.
On your sublease agreement, include a list of various areas of the property (including the subtenant's room, hardwood floors, walls, exterior, etc.) and note its condition.

Subleasing occurs when the tenant transfers a part of their legal tenancy to a third-party as a new tenant.That means that if a new subtenant does not pay rent for three months, the original tenant that subleased the property is liable to the landlord for the overdue rent amount and any late fees.
Maryland law doesn't address subletting directly, meaning that it's up to each individual lease agreement to lay out the rules.If the lease allows subletting, but only with the landlord's written permission, then a tenant must get consent before subletting their unit.
