subhuur
Subhuur, or subletting, is the arrangement in which a tenant (the sublessor) leases part or all of a dwelling to a third party (the subtenant) for a period while the original tenancy with the landlord remains in force. The subtenant generally pays rent to the sublessor, who remains legally responsible to the landlord for rent, compliance with the lease, and maintenance.
