When a tenant temporarily rents out his or her property to another person, this is called a sublet. It can also be referred to as a sublease. Common situations which might prompt a renter to pursue a sublet arrangement include going on a long vacation, attending school or taking a job in a different city. When a tenant decides to rent/sublet their house or apartment to a third party, the landlord's consent is usually required, and sublease forms should be signed. In the forms, the original tenant may be referred to as the ﾓsublessor,ﾔ and the new tenant may be called the ﾓsublessee.ﾔ These forms outline the terms of the sublet, specifying the duration of the sublet and how much rent is to be paid by the sublessee. The sublessee usually pays rent directly to the sublessor, who then pays the landlord. The original renter is still liable for future rent and any damages to the property that may occur during a sublet.
