Rental tenants who want to vacate their properties before the lease term expires frequently decide to pursue a sublet. Sample sublet agreements are often obtained to help a tenant identify the specific terms and provisions he or she would like to include in their sublet agreement. A sublet sample agreement may be used as a template, allowing a tenant to customize the agreement by adding or deleting certain provisions. In other cases, a sublet sample form may be used as-is with no changes, as long as the terms of the agreement comply with all state and local laws. A sublet sample form can be taken to an attorney, who may assist a tenant by verifying the legality of the form, or an attorney may help a tenant create a customized legal sublet agreement. A sublet agreement should state the rental rate of the sublet and how and when rent should be paid. A sublet agreement should also state the duration of the sublet, including the exact date that the agreement expires.
