A Hawaii sublease agreement is a legal contract between a tenant currently renting property (“sublessor”) and a new tenant (“sublessee” or “subtenant”). If your original lease agreement contains a clause that allows you to sublease, or you have obtained written permission from your landlord, you may sublet your Hawaii rental property.
Once permission is granted, the sublessor is responsible until the termination of the original lease. Additionally, rent owed by the subtenant is paid to the tenant who originally signed the lease, and the original tenant remains liable for any damage the subtenant does to the property.
