Massachusetts Commercial Sublease
About this form
The Commercial Sublease form is a legally binding document that allows a tenant (the Sub-Lessor) to lease out their rented commercial property to another tenant (the Sub-Lessee). This agreement lays out the terms under which the Sub-Lessee will operate and use the space, while adhering to the conditions set forth in the original lease agreement with the property owner. Unlike standard lease agreements, this sublease is specifically tailored for situations where an existing tenant seeks to transfer some or all of their lease rights to a new tenant.
