A Michigan sublease agreement allows a current tenant (or “sublessor”) to rent out a home, apartment, condo, or other property to a third party (or “subtenant”). Under Michigan law, you can only sublease a property when the initial tenant has received consent from the landlord. The original lease between the initial tenant and the landlord should state whether the initial tenant has the right to sublease the property.
As the sublessor, you are still responsible for paying monthly rent to the landlord and any damage the subtenant may cause, and following all Michigan laws regarding the eviction process, security deposits, and all other landlord-tenant matters.
