A Wisconsin sublease agreement outlines the terms of a sublet living arrangement between a sub-lessor and sub-lessee. It conveys a residential contract whereby a current tenant (sub-lessor) deems it necessary to re-rent the property or a significant space in said property to a sub-tenant (sub-lessee). Such arrangement can be beneficial in cases where the sub-lessor must travel for an extended time period or simply wishes to move out while still being under a lease term. Regardless of the reasoning, the sub-lessor remains responsible for ensuring duties relating to the master lease with the property owner/manager are fulfilled for the entirety of its lifespan. Note that entering a sublease agreement places substantial liability on the sub-lessor. A considerable amount of thought should be given to the ramifications. Among a wide range of responsibilities, the sub-lessor must carry out tenant-related duties while simultaneously serving as a landlord to the sub-lessee — which often involves ensuring the property is safe, sanitary, and livable.
