Office Subletting

OFFICE SUBLET – COMMERCIAL SUBLET
A Guide to Subleasing your Commercial Space

To properly sublet your office space, you need to have a detailed understanding of how the process works. A commercial sublease is an agreement between two businesses where one business assumes the other’s leased commercial space under terms specified in a written contract. This type of office sublease exists with the landlord’s consent, and it is critical that any sublease agreement is permissible under current lease terms.

The most important thing you can do before attempting to sublease your office is check with your broker and read through your lease contract, making sure that a sublet will be allowed. If such an office sublease is possible, you may go ahead and find a tenant to sublet your space. Bear in mind that though you may have vacated your space, you are still obligated to meet all terms of your initial lease contract with your landlord. Be sure to choose sublessees very carefully, scrutinizing their financial stability. You want to be absolutely sure they will be able to pay for the complete term of the sublease.

Success in Subletting = Reaching as many potential tenants and brokers as possible to increases chances of identifying a qualified sublessee.
