The North Carolina sublease agreement is a form that allows a tenant to rent their leased space to a sublessee. The tenant must usually make a formal request to obtain permission from the landlord to sublet as most standard leases do not allow this type of arrangement. The tenant has a choice of two (2) options when deciding on how to conduct a sublet: they may rent the entire space (common for college and university students while they go home for the summer), or they may rent a portion of the space (a.k.a., a roommate agreement). The tenant should realize that they, not the landlord, will bear full responsibility for the sublessee. What this means is that if the new tenant does not pay rent, causes damage to the property, or does not leave at the intended time, the original tenant will bear the risk and cost of any possible eviction. Therefore, the original tenant should always screen all sublessees with the rental application.
