About this form
The Attornment Agreement between Lessor and Sublessee of Lessee is a legal document designed to establish a formal relationship between a property owner (lessor) and a tenant who subleases a portion of the property (sublessee). This form ensures that the sublessee's rights are secured even if the original lease (prime lease) is terminated, except in cases of condemnation or catastrophic events. It clarifies the obligations of both lessor and sublessee, distinguishing it from other lease agreements by its focus on rental rights under a sublease context.

FAQ
If you are a leaseholder, you cannot change the lease terms without agreeing such change with your landlord. The reason for this is that as the lease is a contract between two parties, the leaseholder and the landlord, both parties must agree to change (referred to also as variation) of the terms of the lease.
With Tenant Consent. If the tenant and landlord both agree to the change, the parties can either (1) execute a new lease or rental agreement that includes the new clause, or (2) amend the existing lease or rental agreement. Without Tenant Consent.
