A Michigan sublease agreement provides the legal backbone for a sublet arrangement between a sub-lessor and sub-lessee. Tenants looking to sublet a space in their place of residence can utilize this standard contract to comply with the basic laws governing such agreements in the State of Michigan. Sub-lessors need not be professional landlords to draft the understanding into a viable document effectively. In general, a sub-lessor will act solely as a landlord in relation to the sub-lessee; this is due to the sub-lessor not owning the property but rather under a rental lease with the property owner/manager. Nevertheless, for all due purposes, the sub-lessor shall be the landlord of the property in the eyes of the sub-lessor. Any issues with the property affecting the sub-lessee may be brought forth to the sub-lessor for a solution. Note that a sub-lessor will simultaneously retain a tenant’s role in regards to the property owner/manager and their agreement. Though the sub-lessee would be populating the property owner’s premises, the two are not bound by contract since a sublease is solely between the sub-lessor and sublessee. The property/owner must still provide their express written consent to approve of the sublet.
