A Florida sublease agreement is a contract between the original tenant (the sublessor) to rent out a property to a new tenant who wasn’t part of the original lease (the sublessee). The sublessor is still responsible for upholding the terms of the original lease. Still, it acts like a landlord by collecting rent from the sublessee and holding them accountable for any breach of the sublease agreement.
Florida law does not explicitly prohibit or allow subleases, so the terms of the original lease will dictate whether a sublease is permitted. It’s recommended that a tenant receive written permission from their landlord before subletting.
