Iowa Sublease Agreement | PDF
An Iowa sublease agreement is meant for tenants who want to rent a portion or all of their living unit to another individual. The sublease term cannot be longer than the lease agreement (unless the landlord agrees). Furthermore, the original tenant (sublessor) is responsible for the new tenant (sublessee) in the event of non-payment or eviction. No matter what happens, the sublessor is responsible to pay the landlord the rent established in the original lease document.
- Make sure that if the housing structure was developed before 1978 that the lead-based paint disclosure is attached.
- The landlord’s consent is almost always required in a sublease arrangement. Make sure as a sublessee gets a copy of the original lease to ensure the tenant has the right to sublease.
