FAQ
A lease is a rental contract between a landlord and a tenant, whereas a sublease is a contract between a tenant and a sub-tenant who has assumed obligations of the tenant's lease.
Direct leasing is a two-party transaction that involves an equipment supplier (manufacturer or dealer) and the asset's user (lessee), whereby the equipment is produced or purchased by the supplier and then leased directly to the customer by the supplier, either as an operating or finance lease.
Cons of a sublease agreement A sublease contract means less control over apartment changes. Lack of renewal opportunities or security with future lease. Limited amenities on the rental property. Heavy reliance on original tenant's obligations. Legal protection. Sublease agreements are normally cheaper.
Subletting Can Impact Property Values Parking becomes difficult, there are higher utility costs, and the neighborhood won't be as appealing to prospective buyers.
In Utah, tenants can sublet if their lease does not specifically prohibit it. They must obtain written permission from the landlord before proceeding. The landlord has the right to screen and approve potential subtenants.
Is Subleasing the Best Option? Subleasing may be most advantageous to tenants if: Market rental rates have increased relative to the tenant's lease rates, particularly if the tenant is permitted to keep all or part of the increased rates under the sublease.
In a standard lease, the tenant has direct obligations to the landlord including paying rent, maintaining the property, and complying with lease terms. In a sublease, the original tenant retains these responsibilities to the landlord, even after subleasing the property.
