An Alabama sublease agreement is a legal document between the original tenant (or “sublessor”) of a property and a new tenant (“subtenant” or sublessee”) who wants to move into that rental unit.
In an Alabama sublease, the subtenant remains bound by all terms and conditions of the original lease agreement, and the original tenant is ultimately responsible if the sublessee fails to pay rent or damages the property.
