SUBLET Meaning and
Definition
-
Sublet, a term commonly used in the realm of real estate and leasing, refers to a legal agreement or arrangement wherein a tenant rents out all or part of a rented property to another individual or entity.
When a tenant sublets a property, they become a sublandlord or sublessor, and the person or entity they rent the property to becomes a subtenant or sublessee. The sublessor retains their original lease agreement with the landlord and assumes the role of a landlord to the sublessee.
Subletting typically occurs when the tenant who initially leased the property wants to temporarily leave the premises, but wishes to retain their tenancy rights. This situation commonly arises when the primary tenant needs to relocate due to work, travel, or personal reasons.
In a subletting arrangement, the subtenant pays rent directly to the sublessor, who in turn, is responsible for paying the original landlord as per the terms of their lease agreement. It is essential to note that the sublessor remains responsible for any damages or violations of the original lease agreement, even if caused by the subtenant.
Subletting is usually subject to approval by the landlord, who may impose specific conditions or require documentation such as a sublease agreement. Additionally, local laws and regulations may govern the subletting process and impose further obligations or restrictions on the sublessor and sublessee.

Etymology of SUBLET
The word "sublet" is derived from the combination of two words: "sub", a prefix meaning "under" or "below", and "let", which comes from the Old English word "lǣtan" meaning "to allow" or "to lease". The term originated from the Middle English word "subleten", which meant to let someone rent or lease a property that had already been leased by the primary tenant. Over time, "sublet" became widely used to refer to an arrangement where a tenant leases a part or the entirety of their rented property to another person.
