RECITALS

WHEREAS, Sublessor is the tenant of record under that certain Residential Lease Agreement dated [[Master Lease Execution Date]] (the "Master Lease"), between [[Landlord Full Legal Name]] ("Landlord") and Sublessor, covering the residential premises described below; and

WHEREAS, Sublessor desires to sublease the Premises to Sublessee, and Sublessee desires to sublease the Premises from Sublessor, subject to all terms of the Master Lease and this Sublease;

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

Under Indiana IC 32-31, subleasing generally requires the prior written consent of the landlord unless the Master Lease expressly permits subletting without consent. Sublessor remains fully liable to Landlord for all rent and obligations under the Master Lease. Sublessee is bound by all terms of the Master Lease. The Sublease term may not extend beyond the Master Lease term. A copy of the Master Lease must be attached as an exhibit. Landlord consent is recommended even when not strictly required., -

1. Premises

Sublessor subleases to Sublessee the residential dwelling unit located at [[Property Street Address]], [[City]], Indiana [[ZIP Code]] (the "Premises"), together with any assigned parking, storage, or other appurtenances listed in the Master Lease or as follows: [[Additional Included Areas or "None"]].

The Premises shall be used solely as a private residence and for no other purpose without the prior written consent of both Sublessor and Landlord., -

2. Master Lease and Exhibits

A true and complete copy of the Master Lease, including all addenda, amendments, rules, and exhibits, is attached as Exhibit A and incorporated by reference. Sublessee acknowledges that Sublessee has received, read, and understands the Master Lease and agrees to be bound by all its terms as if Sublessee were the original tenant thereunder, except as modified by this Sublease.

Sublessor represents and warrants that:

• The Master Lease is in full force and effect.

• Sublessor is not in default under the Master Lease.

• Sublessor has not received any uncured notice of default.

• Subletting is [[Permitted without consent per Master Lease Section [[Section]] / Requires Landlord consent]]., -

3. Term

The Sublease term begins on [[Sublease Start Date]] and ends on [[Sublease End Date]] (the "Sublease Term"), unless sooner terminated in accordance with this Sublease or the Master Lease.

The Sublease Term may not extend beyond the expiration or termination date of the Master Lease, which is [[Master Lease End Date]]. Any provision purporting to grant rights beyond the Master Lease term is void.

If the Master Lease is terminated for any reason, this Sublease shall automatically terminate on the same date, and Sublessee shall vacate the Premises., -

4. Rent and Payment

Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor monthly rent of $[[Sublease Monthly Rent Amount]] ("Sublease Rent"), due in advance on the [[Due Day, e.g., 1st]] day of each month.

Sublessor remains solely responsible for paying all rent due under the Master Lease to Landlord. Sublessee's payment to Sublessor does not constitute payment to Landlord.

Sublease Rent shall be paid by [[Payment Method]] to [[Sublessor Payment Address or Account]].

Any late charges under this Sublease are [[Amount or "governed by Master Lease"]]., -

5. Security Deposit

Sublessee shall pay a security deposit of $[[Sublease Security Deposit Amount]] upon execution of this Sublease.

The security deposit shall be held by Sublessor in accordance with Indiana law (IC 32-31-3). Sublessor shall return the deposit (or itemized deductions) to Sublessee within forty-five (45) days after Sublessee vacates and the Sublease terminates, subject to the same rules that apply between Landlord and Sublessor under the Master Lease.

Sublessor shall disclose to Sublessee the location of the deposit and any transfer of the deposit to Landlord if required. At the end of the Sublease, Sublessor shall coordinate return of the deposit consistent with the Master Lease accounting between Sublessor and Landlord.

Master Lease Security Deposit Held by Landlord: $[[Master Lease Deposit Amount, or "N/A, new deposit collected"]], -

6. Sublessee's Obligations, Incorporation of Master Lease

• Payment of rent and additional charges

• Maintenance and repair obligations of tenant

• Use restrictions and rules

• Insurance requirements

• Entry and inspection rights of Landlord

• Prohibition on assignment or further subletting without consent

• Compliance with all laws and HOA rules

Sublessee shall not take any action (or fail to act) that would constitute a default by Sublessor under the Master Lease., -

7. Sublessor's Continuing Liability

Sublessor remains fully and primarily liable to Landlord for all rent, damages, and performance of every obligation under the Master Lease for the full duration of the Master Lease term, notwithstanding this Sublease. Landlord may pursue Sublessor directly for any default by Sublessee.

Sublessor shall indemnify and hold Sublessee harmless from and against any claims, damages, or liabilities arising from Sublessor's breach of the Master Lease that are not caused by Sublessee., -

8. Landlord Consent

Landlord Consent Status: [[Consent has been obtained and is attached as Exhibit B / Consent is required and Sublessor will obtain it prior to Sublessee taking possession / Master Lease permits subletting without consent per Section [[Section Number]] / Other: [[Describe]]]

If Landlord consent is required, this Sublease is contingent upon Sublessor delivering written consent from Landlord to Sublessee on or before [[Consent Deadline]]. If consent is not obtained, either party may terminate and any prepaid amounts shall be refunded.

A recommended Landlord Consent Addendum form is attached as Exhibit B (to be signed by Landlord, Sublessor, and Sublessee)., -

Sublessee shall comply with all surrender requirements in the Master Lease., -

10. Default and Remedies

If Sublessee defaults under this Sublease or the Master Lease, Sublessor may exercise all remedies available to a landlord under the Master Lease and Indiana law, including termination and eviction, and may recover damages from Sublessee.

If Sublessor defaults under the Master Lease and Landlord terminates the Master Lease, Sublessee's remedies are limited to those available against Sublessor; Sublessee has no direct claim against Landlord unless Landlord has assumed obligations in writing., -
