Sublease of Office Space under Master Lease Agreement
Overview of this form

This form outlines the specific conditions under which the Sublessor can sublease the property, distinguishing it from a standard lease agreement, which typically involves a direct agreement between a lessor and a tenant without the involvement of a sublease.

FAQ
A landlord cannot evict a subtenant. Remember, the landlord has no contractual relationship with the subtenant, even though the subtenant is living in the landlord's property. The contract was between you, the master tenant, and the subtenant. So, only you have standing to evict 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. And since you and your subtenant will need to abide by the original lease that you signed, it's important to include this with your sublease.
Only landlords are allowed to evict their tenants. A master tenant is considered a landlord in relation to his or her subtenant, meaning that a master tenant is able to evict a subtenant.Similarly, roommates who are co-tenants cannot evict their fellow co-tenants.
Is Subletting Illegal? In most cases, subletting is legal if the tenant obtains the landlords permission to let out the rental property. However, if the tenant sublets without written permission, they could come into legal difficulties.
The new tenant (or subtenant) becomes a tenant under the Residential Tenancies Act, so a landlord has the authority to evict the subtenant for the reasons listed in the Act. The original tenant may also be able to evict the subtenant if he or she has assumed the role of landlord for the subtenant.
In short, subletting allows a new renter to take over the lease directly with the landlord, while subleasing involves renting all or part of the space to another renter through the original renter.
Most commercial leases forbid subletting.Before you consider subletting, you should carefully check your own head lease to make sure you are allowed to sub let. Even if the original lease prevents subletting, a sublease may be negotiated if all parties agree.
A sublease is a legally binding contract made between a tenant and a new tenant (also known as a subtenant or a sublessee).Usually, the first tenant must get consent from the landlord before he/she is allowed to sublease the premises.
