New York Sublease Agreement Template

Updated September 24, 2023

A New York sublease agreement is a rental contract between a current tenant (holding a lease with the landlord) and a new tenant (subtenant) to re-rent the same property. This often requires consent from the landlord, as most leases prohibit the act of subletting the premises.
