A Rhode Island sublease agreement is a rental document that settles the terms surrounding a sublet arrangement between an initial tenant (sub-lessor) and a new sub-tenant (sub-lessee). Generally, a sublease grants the sub-lessor the ability to sublet a space in the rented premises. However, many sub-lessor utilize this opportunity to move out without breaking their master lease with the property owner/manager. The sub-lessee, in such instances, occupies the residence altogether and directs payments to the sub-lessor. Regardless of the sublet arrangement, the sub-lessor shall be responsible for collecting the rental costs and making them payable to the landlord in a timely fashion. The sub-lessor would also be liable for any damages to the property or missed payments, despite either being caused by the sub-lessee.
