A West Virginia sublease agreement is a document that lets a current tenant rent the property to someone else. This document must conform to the original lease, which means that the current tenant (the “sublessor”) is responsible for paying monthly rent to the landlord and accepting ultimate responsibility for property damages.
West Virginia law doesn’t state explicit requirements for subletting, but your original lease agreement may include a clause forbidding you to sublet the property. Even if it doesn’t, getting your landlord’s approval in writing can help protect all parties’ interests.
