West Virginia Commercial Sublease
What is this form?
The Commercial Sublease is a legal document that allows a tenant (the Sub-Lessor) to lease all or part of their rented commercial property to another party (the Sub-Lessee). This form facilitates the transfer of rental rights while ensuring that the Sub-Lessee adheres to the terms of the original lease agreement. Unlike a standard lease, a sublease requires the original landlord's consent and is subject to the original lease's terms.

- Description of the leased property and its intended use.
