A Nevada sublease agreement allows a tenant who’s currently renting property (known as the “sublessor”) to rent out part or all of that property to another tenant (or “subtenant”). In Nevada, the current tenant must first check with the landlord or refer to the original lease agreement to see if they’re even allowed to sublease because a contract may forbid subletting.
A sublessor must honor the terms of the sublease agreement (as well as the original lease) and follow all Nevada laws regarding the eviction process, security deposits, and all other landlord-tenant matters.
