A Louisiana sublease agreement provides the means for defining the parties, property, and conditions involved with subletting a residence. A tenant renting from a property owner/manager can bring in another subtenant as part of a separate leasing contract in a sublet arrangement. A sublease as such only legally binds the sub-lessor (current tenant) and sub-lessee (subtenant) and, therefore, limits the scope compared to the master lease. A sublease, for this reason, may not exceed past the end date of the principal lease– unless otherwise expressed in writing. Any rental agreement existing outside the master lease should be drafted in accordance with terms set on the original document. Additionally, the property owner/manager must approve of the sublease and provide their signature on the written contract.
