Fast answerAn arrangement under which an existing tenant grants a subtenant rights to use some or all of its premises, subject to the head lease and required consent.
Why it matters

What to request
Review the head lease, consent, term, condition, furniture, services, defaults, restoration and expiry transition.
Planning example
Map each obligation to the landlord, tenant or subtenant. The example organizes arithmetic or evidence only; the transaction documents and facts determine the result.
