alivuokrasuhteeseen

Alivuokrasuhteeseen, often translated as sublease or subtenancy, refers to an arrangement where a tenant, known as the sublandlord or mesne tenant, rents out a property or part of a property to another person, the subtenant. This is done with the permission of the original landlord, who owns the property and has a direct lease agreement with the sublandlord. The subtenant then pays rent to the sublandlord, not directly to the original owner.

The terms of an alivuokrasuhteeseen are typically outlined in a sublease agreement, which is separate from the original lease. This agreement details the rent amount, the duration of the sublease, any rules regarding the property, and the responsibilities of both the sublandlord and the subtenant. It is crucial that the original lease agreement allows for subletting, or that the original landlord explicitly grants permission for the arrangement.

Subletting can occur for various reasons. A tenant might be temporarily away from their residence for work, study, or travel and wish to cover their rent costs while away. Alternatively, a tenant might have a larger property than they currently need and seek to share the space and expenses. In any case, the sublandlord remains responsible to the original landlord for the rent and any damage to the property, even if the subtenant fails to meet their obligations. The subtenant's rights and responsibilities are primarily governed by their agreement with the sublandlord.
