Landlord Commercial Sublease Agreement
What is a landlord commercial sublease agreement?
A landlord commercial sublease agreement is a legal contract that allows the current tenant of a commercial property to lease a part or all of the space they are renting to another party, known as the subtenant. The subtenant will pay rent to the original tenant (sublessor) who in turn pays rent to the landlord. This agreement defines the terms and conditions for the sublease, including responsibilities, rent payments, and duration of the agreement.
What are the types of landlord commercial sublease agreements?
There are several types of landlord commercial sublease agreements, including: 1. Gross Lease Sublease: In this type of sublease, the subtenant pays a fixed amount of rent, and the sublessor is responsible for covering all other expenses such as utilities, maintenance, and property taxes. 2. Percentage Lease Sublease: In this sublease agreement, the subtenant pays a percentage of their sales as rent, in addition to a base rent. 3. Modified Gross Lease Sublease: This type of sublease combines elements of both gross lease and net lease. The subtenant and sublessor negotiate the allocation of expenses.
