A Missouri sublease agreement is a type of leasing agreement between the current tenant under a master lease and a third party who will sublet space or all the property. The tenant holding an agreement with the property owner/manager is known as the sub-lessor upon entering a sublease contract. A sub-lessor acts as a landlord to the sub-lessee and assumes landlord responsibilities, such as collecting rent and fixing issues affecting the tenancy. However, a tenant may only become a sub-lessor if under a legal contract that grants the right to rent space in the residence to another party. The master lease, in many cases, dictates whether the tenant can pursue a sublet arrangement. Regardless, the tenant should consult the property manager before executing a sublease.
