Grant of License
Defines the precise rights granted (use, access, limitations) and whether the arrangement is a sublease or a license for occupancy to reduce ambiguity.
A properly drafted sublease license reduces disputes by documenting occupancy rights, payment terms, and responsibilities, and it helps preserve the original tenant’s liability posture relative to the landlord and third parties.
The Sublease License Agreement is used by tenants, landlords, property managers, and third-party occupants in residential, commercial, and mixed-use settings.
Parties should confirm alignment with the master lease and obtain any required landlord consent before finalizing signatures.
The tenant listed on the master lease who grants occupancy rights to the subtenant; remains liable to the landlord for master lease obligations unless formally released. The original tenant signs to authorize the sublease and accepts responsibility for rent, damage, and compliance unless otherwise agreed.
The party receiving use rights who agrees to pay rent and comply with the master lease terms as modified by the sublease. The subtenant signs to accept the term, permitted uses, and any indemnity or insurance obligations specified in the agreement.
