👥 Parties to the Agreement

Company or individual holding the head lease
The party subletting the premises

🏢 Premises Details

Be specific about the exact area being sublet
? Must not exceed the permitted use in the head lease. The landlord may object if the subtenant's use differs from the original lease.

📅 Term & Duration

? The sublease term CANNOT extend beyond the head lease term. Always allow buffer time before the head lease expires.
The sublease MUST end before this date
Critical: The sublease cannot extend beyond the head lease term. Ensure there's adequate buffer time (typically 3-6 months) before the head lease expires.

💷 Rent & Payment

? Typically equivalent to 3-6 months' rent. Commercial deposits are not protected by statutory schemes like residential deposits.
? Rent review provisions must not exceed those in the head lease. Common methods: fixed increases, RPI-linked, or open market reviews.

✅ Landlord's Consent

? You MUST obtain landlord consent before subletting. Most leases require written consent. Subletting without consent is a breach and can lead to forfeiture.
⚠️ CRITICAL: This agreement is conditional upon obtaining landlord consent. Do not allow the subtenant to occupy until written consent is received. Subletting without consent is a breach of your head lease.

⚡ Service Charge & Utilities

? If the head lease includes service charges, you can pass a proportionate share to the subtenant. Calculate based on floor area or usage.

🔧 Repair & Maintenance

? The subtenant's obligations cannot exceed your obligations under the head lease. Typically, subtenant repairs internal areas while structural repairs remain with the head tenant/landlord.
The subtenant's repair obligations should mirror (but not exceed) your obligations under the head lease. Review your head lease carefully before setting repair terms.

📋 Use & Restrictions

? The subtenant's right to make alterations should be more restrictive than your rights under the head lease. Typically, all alterations require consent from both you and the head landlord.

🔄 Yield Up & Dilapidations

? Standard requires subtenant to return premises in good repair and condition, fair wear and tear excepted. Document the initial condition thoroughly.

⚠️ Forfeiture & Break Clauses

? A break clause allows you to terminate early. Essential if the head lease might end early or if circumstances change. Usually requires 3-6 months' notice.
⚠️ Recommended: Include a break clause for yourself (tenant) to protect against head lease termination or if you need to recover possession. This is critical for commercial flexibility.
