  1. Parties
    Names the sublessor (original tenant) and sublessee (new occupant) as the parties to the sublease.
  2. Subleased Premises
    Identifies the subleased space by suite number, square footage, address, and legal description. Links to the master lease by date and landlord name, requiring the master lease to be attached.
  3. Term
    Establishes the sublease duration, start date, and end date, which must fall within the master lease term.
  4. Rent and Expenses

  6. Utilities, Maintenance, and Repairs
    Assigns utility and maintenance costs to the sublessee based on the master lease obligations, with an exception field. Provides two options for reporting landlord-responsible repair conditions.
  7. Insurance

    Prohibits sublessee from creating liens on the property and establishes mutual indemnification for damages caused by either party or their respective associates.
  11. Default
    Defines default events and remedies for both parties. Sublessee gets 10-day cure for non-monetary defaults; sublessor can terminate with 3 days notice. Sublessor defaults trigger sublessee's right to legal remedies or self-help curing.
