QUICK LEGAL SUMMARY (STATUTORY OVERVIEW)

What is a Sub-Lease Agreement with Landlord Consent?

A Sub-Lease Agreement in India is an agreement whereby an existing primary tenant (sub-lessor) leases out a portion or whole of the rented property to a third party (sub-lessee). Because unauthorized subletting is a statutory ground for eviction under Transfer of Property Act 1882, the primary lease must permit subletting or obtain written landlord consent.

Enforceability in Indian Courts

Enforceable under the Indian Contract Act 1872 and Transfer of Property Act 1882, provided the head-lease does not contain an express negative covenant prohibiting subletting.

Registration Rule:Compulsory if sub-lease tenure equals or exceeds 12 months.

STAMP DUTY & NOTARIZATION
