An Apartment Sublease Agreement is essential when a tenant wishes to temporarily transfer their leasehold rights to another party while maintaining their original tenancy. This document, governed by English and Welsh law, ensures all parties understand their rights and obligations, particularly important given the complex regulatory framework surrounding residential lettings in the UK. The agreement must comply with both the original lease terms and applicable legislation, including the Housing Act 1988, Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, and Tenant Fees Act 2019. It typically requires the head landlord's consent and includes detailed provisions for rent, maintenance, and termination.
