A Georgia sublease agreement allows the initial renter (sublessor) to rent a property to a new tenant (a sublessee). This can be for the entire rental property or a partial rental like a room. The sublessee is still responsible for upholding the terms and conditions of the original lease, even though they’re leasing from the original tenant. If any damage to the property occurs, or if the sublessee does not pay rent or otherwise breaches the agreement, the original tenant is liable.
Landlords can request security deposits from the new tenants and even prohibit subletting altogether, so an original tenant should check with their landlord before setting up a sublease agreement.
