This Connecticut Residential Sublease Agreement enables a tenant of a master lease to sublet the remaining term of their tenancy (with landlord approval) to another person referred to as a subtenant or sublessee. It is a short 3 page agreement that relies heavily on the original master agreement for enforcing the covenants, conditions, and restrictions of tenancy. It is important to note: As long as the master agreement is in effect, the original master tenant is still financially and legally responsible for the rental property.
