A Missouri sublease agreement provides a property’s original tenant the right to rent out all or a portion of a property to a new tenant (or “subtenant”). In a sublease agreement, the original tenant becomes the sublessor, and the new tenant becomes the subtenant.
To sublease property in Missouri, the original tenant needs prior written approval from their landlord. A sublessor must honor the terms of the sublease agreement (as well as the original lease) and follow all Missouri laws regarding the eviction process, security deposits, and other landlord-tenant matters.
