Definition

Context #1 | Noun

leasing arrangement

A subtenant is a person who rents or leases a property from a tenant who has already rented it from the landlord. This arrangement typically occurs when the original tenant cannot occupy the space for the entire duration of the lease. The subtenant agrees to pay rent to the original tenant, who in turn remains responsible for the lease to the landlord. Subtenants may have limited rights compared to primary tenants, depending on the terms of the original lease agreement.
