The Tennessee sublease agreement is a legal document that, with the permission of the landlord/owner of a property, would allow an initial renter to sublease a property that they had initially rented on their own. The initial tenant would be responsible for the lease agreement entirely, until the rental agreement expires. The initial tenant would be responsible for the care, upkeep, collection of rent and any other general care of the premises. This particular document will hold the sublessee responsible for the care of the property and payment of the rent (and any other utilities and services) to the initial tenant.
