Direct lease space is more expensive and more stable while sublease space is less expensive but shorterterm in nature. Hello, I am looking to sublease a unit in the Fairfax va area.Good price, lots of amenities and commodities. Does anyone know much about tenant rights in VA? The tenant would be the sublessor and the third party would be the sublessee. An assignment is the transfer of the party's entire interest in a lease. Creditworthiness to undertake and perform the obligations of this Lease or the sublease.
