Michigan Sublease Agreement

This Michigan Sublease Agreement (the "Sublease") is entered into as of [[Sublease Effective Date]] by and between:

Sublessor: [[Sublessor Full Legal Name(s)]] ("Sublessor")

and

Sublessee: [[Sublessee Full Legal Name(s)]] ("Sublessee")

(collectively, the "Parties").

Recitals

A. Sublessor is the tenant under that certain Master Lease dated [[Master Lease Date]] between [[Master Landlord Full Name(s)]] ("Landlord") and Sublessor, covering the premises located at [[Master Lease Property Full Address]], [[City]], Michigan [[ZIP Code]] (the "Premises"). A true and complete copy of the Master Lease is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated by reference.

B. Sublessor desires to sublease the Premises (or a portion thereof) to Sublessee, and Sublessee desires to sublease the Premises from Sublessor, subject to the terms of the Master Lease and this Sublease.

C. Subleasing requires compliance with MCLA 554.134. Sublessor represents that either (i) the Master Lease expressly permits subleasing, or (ii) Landlord has given prior written consent to this specific Sublease via the attached Landlord Consent to Sublease (Exhibit B).

D. Sublessor remains fully liable to Landlord for all obligations under the Master Lease.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein, the Parties agree as follows:, -

1. Premises

Sublessor subleases to Sublessee, and Sublessee subleases from Sublessor, the following:

[[Full description of subleased space, e.g., the entire Premises / the upper unit / bedrooms 1 and 2 and shared kitchen and bath]]

located at [[Property Address]], [[City]], Michigan [[ZIP Code]] (the "Subleased Premises").

The Subleased Premises include the use of common areas as permitted under the Master Lease: [[List shared areas, parking, laundry, yard, storage, etc.]], -

2. Term

The term of this Sublease shall commence on [[Sublease Start Date]] and shall expire on [[Sublease End Date]], unless sooner terminated in accordance with this Sublease or the Master Lease.

The Sublease term shall in no event extend beyond the expiration date of the Master Lease (currently [[Master Lease Expiration Date]]). Any extension or renewal of this Sublease requires the prior written consent of Landlord and execution of a new agreement or extension., -

3. Rent

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

Rent shall be paid by: [[Check payable to Sublessor / Electronic transfer to [[Account Details]] / Other agreed method]]

Sublessor remains solely responsible for paying the full rent due under the Master Lease to Landlord on time. Sublessee's payment to Sublessor does not relieve Sublessor of any obligation to Landlord.

If Sublessee fails to pay rent when due, Sublessor may pursue all remedies available under this Sublease and Michigan law, including termination and eviction proceedings under MCLA 554.601 et seq.

Prorated first/last month: [[Proration details or "First month prorated at $[[Amount]] for [[Days]] days."]], -

4. Security Deposit

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

This deposit shall not exceed one and one-half (1.5) months' rent as required by MCLA 554.602.

Sublessor shall hold the deposit in accordance with Michigan law (MCLA 554.603) and shall provide Sublessee written notice of the name and address of the financial institution holding the deposit within fourteen (14) days of receipt.

The security deposit secures Sublessee's faithful performance of this Sublease and the Master Lease obligations incorporated herein. It may be applied to unpaid rent, damage beyond ordinary wear and tear, and cleaning costs.

Within thirty (30) days after termination of this Sublease and Sublessee's surrender of possession and provision of a forwarding address, Sublessor shall provide Sublessee an itemized statement and return any remaining balance, all in compliance with MCLA 554.609 and 554.608 (inventory checklists).

Transfer of Security Deposit to Landlord: Sublessor shall remain responsible to Landlord for any security deposit required under the Master Lease. Sublessee acknowledges that Landlord may require direct payment or transfer of the deposit to Landlord's control upon consent to sublease., -

Additional Michigan Law Notes

  • Subleasing without required consent may constitute a material breach allowing Landlord to terminate the Master Lease and pursue eviction against Sublessor (and Sublessee as holdover).
  • Security deposit handling, inventory checklists, and return procedures must comply with MCLA 554.602, 554.603, 554.608, and 554.609 even in a sublease arrangement.
  • Sublessor must provide Sublessee with all required disclosures that the Master Lease or Michigan law requires Landlord to provide to tenants (lead paint, etc.).
  • Disputes between Sublessor and Sublessee are governed by Michigan landlord-tenant law; Landlord is not a party to this Sublease except for consent and enforcement of the Master Lease.
