Sublease Agreement

Part I: Names of the parties signing the agreement and date

• This step is pretty straightforward. Include the full (legal) name of the original tenant and

the individual who will be subletting, as well as the date.

• The original renter is commonly referred to as the ‘Tenant’ and the person subletting is

referred to as the ‘Subtenant’ in the agreement.

Part II: Property information

• Include the full street address of the property.

• If the sublease isn’t for the whole unit, be sure to specify this.

• For example, this applies if a person is only subletting a room within the house or

apartment.

Part III: The term of the sublease

• This section outlines when the sublease will begin and when it will conclude. It’s

important to include these to avoid any confusion.

• Legally, the subtenant has no right to occupy the rental unit at the end of their subtenancy,

but you should have the arrival and departure dates stated clearly in writing to refer to if

any problems arise.

Part IV: The rental rate

• Include both the amount of rent which will be paid each month and when it must be paid

by.

• It’s also important to specify who the subtenant is to pay rent to, whether it will be the

landlord/owner or the original tenant.

• In many cases, the original tenant will collect the rent and pass it onto the landlord/owner.

Part V: Additional agreements/rules/expectations

• This section should outline any additional fees such as pet fees, utilities, or any other type

of miscellaneous fees. It’s important to be transparent about all fees, so that there are no

surprises for the subtenant.

• You can use this section to outline any other agreements, such as the tenant covering a

portion of the subtenant’s utilities or the subtenant agreeing to water the tenant’s plants.

• Consider including specifics on how rent will be paid (email money transfer, post-dated

cheque) and if the tenant collects a deposit for the last month’s rent (which s/he is legally

entitled to do), record it here and the subtenant should receive a rent receipt.

Part VI: Sign and date the agreement

• As with any contract, make sure all parties sign and date the agreement. The sample

sublease agreement on the reverse side is not an official Sublease Agreement (as there

is not one formally provided by the Province of Ontario) but may be used to create an

informal Sublease Agreement.
