Legal Definition and Related Resources of Sublease
Meaning of Sublease
An underlease. A grant by a lessee to another of a part of his whole interest under the original lease , reserving to himself a reversion . The underlease or sublease must be for a period less in point of time than the term of the estate of the original lessee and this is made usually by excepting the last day of the term. After the sublease is made, the grantor of the sublease has in point of estate not merely and simply the residue of the time of his original term; he has the same measure of time, duration of interest and estate as he had prior to the underlease subject only to that lease. If the sublease purports to grant the entire term of the sublessor, then it is an assignment and not a sublease. See Davidson v Minnesota Loan & trust Co., 158 Minn. 411,197 N. W. 833.
