West Virginia Sublease Agreement | PDF – MS Word
A West Virginia sublease agreement can be used for all roommate scenarios but is mostly used by students seeking to rent their residential space while away from school. Under a subletting arrangement, the tenant who holds the lease agreement with the landlord may want to check their contract to ensure that subleasing is allowed. If not, a simple letter requesting permission must be sent.
Once validated, the original tenant, or sublessor, is allowed to seek anyone they deem qualified to rent for a time period that does not extend past the master lease agreement. The sublessor should be aware that he or she will be liable for any actions made by the new tenant, or sublessee. Such actions include the non-payment of rent, refusing to vacate evictions, and any damage occurring during the term. For these reasons, it is highly recommended that a rental application be used to screen the potential subtenant before authorizing an agreement.
