AI Pennsylvania Sublease Agreement

1. Recitals and Reference to Master Lease

Sublessor is the tenant under that certain Residential Lease Agreement dated [[Master Lease Date]] (the "Master Lease") between Sublessor and [[Master Landlord Full Legal Name(s)]] ("Landlord" or "Master Landlord") for the residential premises located at [[Master Lease Property Full Address]], [[City]], Pennsylvania [[ZIP Code]] (the "Premises").

The Master Lease term runs from [[Master Lease Start Date]] through [[Master Lease End Date]], unless sooner terminated in accordance with its terms.

Sublessor desires to sublease all or a portion of the Premises to Sublessee, and Sublessee desires to sublease the Premises from Sublessor, subject to and upon all of the terms, conditions, covenants, and provisions of the Master Lease (except as expressly modified by this Sublease) and the additional terms set forth herein.

Sublessee acknowledges that Sublessee has received and reviewed a complete copy of the Master Lease (attached hereto as Exhibit A) prior to signing this Sublease.

2. Subleased Premises

Sublessor hereby subleases to Sublessee, and Sublessee hereby subleases from Sublessor, the following described portion of the Premises:

[[Description of Subleased Premises - e.g., the entire Premises / Unit 2B consisting of the living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, and one bathroom / the basement apartment with private entrance]]

The Subleased Premises include the non-exclusive right to use all common areas, facilities, and appurtenances that Sublessor is entitled to use under the Master Lease, subject to the same rules, regulations, and restrictions that apply to Sublessor.

3. Landlord Consent Requirement

Pursuant to the Pennsylvania Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951 (68 P.S. § 250.101 et seq.) and the terms of the Master Lease, subletting the Premises or any portion thereof requires the prior written consent of Landlord unless the Master Lease expressly permits subletting without such consent.

Sublessor represents and warrants to Sublessee that:

[[Landlord consent is required under the Master Lease and has been obtained in writing (see Exhibit B) / Landlord consent is not required because the Master Lease expressly permits subletting without consent (quote relevant provision here) / Landlord consent request has been submitted and is pending - Sublease is conditional upon receipt]]

If Landlord's written consent is required, this Sublease is expressly conditioned upon Sublessor delivering to Sublessee a fully executed Landlord Consent to Sublease (in the form attached as Exhibit B or substantially equivalent) on or before [[Consent Deadline Date]]. If consent is denied or not obtained by the deadline, either party may terminate this Sublease by written notice to the other, and any amounts previously paid by Sublessee (except any non-refundable application or screening fee permitted by law) shall be promptly refunded.

Sublessee acknowledges that Sublessee acquires no greater rights under this Sublease than Sublessor possesses under the Master Lease, and that Sublessee's rights are subject and subordinate to all terms of the Master Lease.

4. Term of Sublease

The term of this Sublease shall begin on [[Sublease Start Date]] and shall end on [[Sublease End Date]] (the "Sublease Term"), unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms hereof or the Master Lease.

The Sublease Term shall in no event extend beyond the remaining term of the Master Lease. If the Master Lease is terminated for any reason, this Sublease shall automatically terminate on the same date without further liability to Landlord, except for obligations that have already accrued.

Sublessee shall have no right to hold over or remain in possession after the expiration or termination of the Sublease Term without the prior written consent of both Sublessor and Landlord. Any unauthorized holdover shall be treated as a default under both this Sublease and the Master Lease.

5. Rent and Payment Terms

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

Payment Instructions: Sublessee shall pay Sublease Rent directly to Sublessor by [[Accepted Payment Method - e.g., personal check / electronic transfer to account ending in XXXX / certified funds]] at [[Payment Address or Instructions]]. Sublessor remains solely and fully responsible to Landlord for timely payment of all rent and other amounts due under the Master Lease.

Sublessor may not charge Sublessee any markup or administrative fee for forwarding rent payments unless such fee is expressly disclosed in this Sublease and agreed to in writing by Sublessee. Sublessee shall not be required to pay rent directly to Landlord unless Sublessor is in default under the Master Lease and Landlord has given appropriate notice.

Utilities and Services Allocation: [[Describe allocation - e.g., Sublessee shall pay for electricity, gas, and internet in Sublessee's name; water, sewer, and trash are included in Sublease Rent / Sublessee reimburses Sublessor for actual usage of [[X]] within 10 days of invoice]].

Late charges, if any, shall be governed by the terms of the Master Lease as incorporated herein and shall not exceed amounts permitted by Pennsylvania law.

6. Security Deposit

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

The security deposit paid by Sublessee to Sublessor is a private contractual arrangement between Sublessor and Sublessee. Landlord has no obligation to Sublessee with respect to this deposit. Sublessor shall hold, account for, and return the deposit in accordance with Pennsylvania law (68 P.S. § 250.511a - 512) as between Sublessor and Sublessee, including the 30-day return rule, itemization requirement, and double-damage penalty for wrongful withholding.

At the termination of the Sublease Term, Sublessor shall return the deposit (or provide an itemized statement of deductions together with any balance) within 30 days after Sublessee vacates, returns all keys, and provides a forwarding address, subject to the same statutory rules that apply to landlords. Sublessor shall not commingle Sublessee's deposit with Sublessor's personal funds if required by applicable escrow rules.

7. Incorporation of Master Lease Terms

All terms, conditions, covenants, rules, regulations, and obligations contained in the Master Lease are hereby incorporated by reference into this Sublease and made binding upon Sublessee as if Sublessee were the original tenant under the Master Lease, except as expressly modified by the terms of this Sublease.

Without limiting the foregoing, Sublessee agrees to comply fully with all provisions of the Master Lease, including but not limited to:

1. Use of the Premises only for residential purposes and in compliance with all laws, ordinances, and HOA/condo rules.

2. Quiet enjoyment obligations and prohibition on creating nuisances or disturbing other residents.

3. Maintenance, repair, and upkeep responsibilities to the extent they apply to occupants (Sublessee shall be responsible for damage caused by Sublessee, guests, or pets beyond ordinary wear and tear).

4. Pet, smoking, guest, parking, and storage rules and restrictions.

5. Insurance requirements, if any, set forth in the Master Lease.

6. Entry and notice requirements of Landlord and Sublessor.

7. Prohibition on assignment or further subletting without prior written consent of both Sublessor and Landlord.

Sublessee shall not commit any act or omission that would constitute a default or breach under the Master Lease.

8. Sublessor's Continuing Full Liability to Landlord

Sublessor remains fully, primarily, and directly liable to Landlord for the performance of all obligations under the Master Lease, including without limitation the timely payment of all rent, performance of all covenants, and liability for any damages, costs, or expenses arising from any breach of the Master Lease, whether caused by Sublessee or otherwise.

Sublessee's performance under this Sublease, or any payments made by Sublessee, shall not relieve Sublessor of any liability to Landlord. In the event of a default by Sublessee, Sublessor may pursue all available remedies against Sublessee under this Sublease while remaining fully responsible to Landlord under the Master Lease.

Landlord's consent to this Sublease (if obtained) does not release Sublessor from any obligations under the Master Lease.

9. Default and Remedies

If Sublessee fails to pay Sublease Rent when due, violates any term of this Sublease or the incorporated Master Lease provisions, abandons the Premises, or otherwise defaults, Sublessor may, after providing any notices required by the Master Lease or Pennsylvania law:

1. Terminate this Sublease and regain possession of the Subleased Premises.

2. Recover all unpaid Sublease Rent, additional charges, and damages caused by the default.

3. Pursue any other remedies available under the Master Lease, this Sublease, or Pennsylvania law, including recovery of reasonable attorneys' fees and costs where permitted.

Sublessor shall provide Sublessee with copies of any notices given to Landlord that relate to Sublessee's occupancy.

10. Condition of Premises; Move-In / Move-Out; Surrender

Sublessee accepts the Subleased Premises in its present "as-is" condition as of the Sublease Start Date, except as otherwise noted in the attached Move-In / Move-Out Inspection Checklist (Exhibit C).

At the end of the Sublease Term, Sublessee shall:

1. Remove all personal property and debris.

2. Return the Subleased Premises broom-clean and in the same condition as received, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

3. Return all keys, access devices, garage openers, and remotes to Sublessor.

4. Provide Sublessor with a written forwarding address.

Sublessee shall be responsible to Sublessor for any damage to the Premises beyond ordinary wear and tear or any condition that causes Sublessor to incur liability, expense, or loss of deposit under the Master Lease.

11. Access, Entry, and Inspections

Sublessor and Landlord (with reasonable coordination through Sublessor) may enter the Subleased Premises in accordance with the notice requirements and exceptions set forth in the Master Lease and applicable Pennsylvania law (generally reasonable notice except in cases of emergency, abandonment, or tenant consent).

Sublessee shall not unreasonably withhold consent to entry for lawful purposes such as inspections, repairs, showings to prospective tenants or purchasers, or compliance with legal requirements.

12. Insurance, Liability, and Indemnification

Sublessee shall maintain renter's insurance with personal liability coverage of at least $[[Minimum Renter's Liability Coverage - e.g. 300000]] (or such higher amount as may be required by the Master Lease) throughout the Sublease Term and shall provide proof of coverage to Sublessor upon request.

Sublessee assumes all risk of loss or damage to Sublessee's personal property. Neither Sublessor nor Landlord shall be liable for any loss or damage to Sublessee's property except to the extent caused by their gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Sublessee agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Sublessor and Landlord from and against any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of Sublessee's use of the Premises or the acts or omissions of Sublessee, Sublessee's guests, or pets, except to the extent caused by Sublessor's or Landlord's negligence or willful misconduct.

13. Lead-Based Paint Disclosure (Pre-1978 Housing)

If the Premises were built before 1978, federal law requires disclosure of known lead-based paint and/or lead-based paint hazards. Sublessor has provided (or will provide prior to Sublessee taking possession) the required EPA pamphlet and any known lead information as required by 42 U.S.C. § 4852d. Sublessee acknowledges receipt of such disclosure if applicable.

[[Lead Disclosure Status - e.g., Premises built before 1978 - disclosures attached as Exhibit D / Premises built 1978 or later - disclosure not required]]

14. No Third-Party Beneficiary; Relationship of Parties

Nothing in this Sublease shall be construed to create any direct contractual relationship, tenancy, or privity between Sublessee and Landlord. Sublessee is not a third-party beneficiary of the Master Lease. The only contractual relationship created by this Sublease is between Sublessor and Sublessee.

15. Notices

All notices required or permitted under this Sublease shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when delivered personally, sent by certified mail (return receipt requested), or sent by overnight courier to the addresses below or to such other address as a party may designate in writing.
