1. Master Lease and Recitals

Sublessor is the tenant under a Residential Lease Agreement dated [[Master Lease Date]] (the "Master Lease") between Sublessor and Landlord for the residential premises located at:

[[Master Lease Property Full Address, Unit if any, City, Quebec Postal Code]] (the "Premises").

The Master Lease term runs from [[Master Lease Start Date]] to [[Master Lease End Date]].

Sublessor wishes to sublease the Premises (or a portion) to Sublessee, and Sublessee wishes to sublease from Sublessor, subject to the terms of the Master Lease, this Sublease, and the Civil Code of Québec (CCQ arts. 1870, 1876).

Sublessee acknowledges having received a full copy of the Master Lease (attached as Exhibit A) and understands that Sublessee acquires no greater rights than Sublessor holds under the Master Lease.

2. Subleased Premises

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

[[Description of subleased portion, e.g. "the entire Premises" or "the ground floor apartment consisting of two bedrooms, living room, kitchen, bathroom, and exclusive use of the backyard"]].

The Subleased Premises include the rights to use common areas and facilities (if any) that Sublessor is entitled to use under the Master Lease, subject to the same rules.

Included furnishings and appliances: [[List or "as per Master Lease" or "none additional"]].

3. Sublease Term

The term of this Sublease (the "Sublease Term") begins on [[Sublease Start Date]] and ends on [[Sublease End Date]], provided that the Sublease Term shall not extend beyond the remaining term of the Master Lease.

The Sublease Term cannot exceed the remaining duration of the Master Lease. Upon termination or expiry of the Master Lease, this Sublease automatically terminates without further notice.

Sublessee acquires no right of renewal or continued occupancy against the Landlord at the end of the Sublease Term or the Master Lease.

4. Rent

Sublessee shall pay monthly rent of $[[Sublease Monthly Rent]] to Sublessor, due in advance on the [[Due Day]] of each month.

Important restriction: The rent payable by Sublessee under this Sublease shall not exceed the rent payable by Sublessor under the Master Lease for the same premises.

Payment instructions: [[Payment method and details, e.g. e-transfer to Sublessor]].

Sublessor remains fully responsible to Landlord for payment of all rent and other amounts due under the Master Lease.

5. Landlord Consent, Mandatory

Under CCQ art. 1870 and following, and the terms of the Master Lease, subletting requires the prior written consent of the Landlord.

Landlord may refuse consent only for serious reasons (e.g., proposed sublessee's inability to pay, history of serious breaches, or other legitimate concerns). Refusal for arbitrary or unreasonable reasons may be challenged by Sublessee or Sublessor before the Tribunal administratif du logement (TAL).

Landlord Consent Status (check one):

☐ Landlord has given written consent dated [[Consent Date]] (copy attached as Exhibit B).

☐ Consent request was submitted to Landlord on [[Date Request Sent]]. Landlord has 15 days from receipt of notice to respond. If no response or unreasonable refusal, Sublessee or Sublessor may apply to the TAL.

☐ Consent is not required under the specific terms of the Master Lease (quote or attach provision): [[Provision or "N/A"]].

This Sublease and Sublessee's obligation to take possession are expressly conditional on receipt of valid Landlord consent. If consent is refused or not obtained by [[Consent Deadline]], either party may terminate this Sublease by written notice and Sublessee shall be entitled to refund of any amounts paid (less any permitted non-refundable fees).

Notice to Landlord: Sublessor must give Landlord at least 15 days' written notice before the proposed sublease begins (or as required by the Master Lease or law).

6. Sublessor's Continuing Liability

Sublessor remains fully liable to Landlord for all obligations under the Master Lease, including payment of rent, performance of covenants, and any damage to the Premises, even if caused by Sublessee.

Sublessee's obligations to Sublessor under this Sublease are in addition to, and do not relieve, Sublessor's obligations to Landlord.

Landlord may enforce the Master Lease directly against Sublessor.

7. Sublessee's Obligations

Sublessee agrees to:

• Comply with all terms of the Master Lease as if Sublessee were the tenant thereunder (except for payment of rent to Landlord, which remains Sublessor's duty).
• Pay rent to Sublessor as set out in Section 4.
• Use the Premises only as a private residence.
• Not assign this Sublease or further sublet without Sublessor's and Landlord's prior written consent.
• Maintain the Premises in good condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted.
• Comply with all building rules and applicable laws.
• Permit Landlord and Sublessor reasonable access on proper notice.
• Not cause nuisance or damage.

Sublessee has no greater rights than Sublessor under the Master Lease.

8. Assignment versus Sublease, Distinction

• Sublease: Sublessor retains the Master Lease and remains liable to Landlord. Sublessee has rights only against Sublessor (and indirectly through Sublessor to Landlord). This document is a sublease.
• Assignment: Sublessor would transfer the entire remaining interest in the Master Lease to another party, who steps into Sublessor's shoes and becomes directly liable to Landlord. Assignment requires separate documentation and Landlord consent.

The parties confirm this is a sublease, not an assignment. Sublessor does not assign the Master Lease.

9. Security Deposit

No security deposit may be collected by Sublessor from Sublessee beyond what is permitted under the Master Lease and Quebec law. Security deposits are generally prohibited in Quebec residential tenancies (see CCQ art. 1904 and the separate Security Deposit Return guidance).

Any amount collected must comply with the first-month-rent-only rule. Sublessee should not pay, and Sublessor should not collect, any unlawful deposit.

10. Termination and Surrender

This Sublease terminates automatically upon termination or expiry of the Master Lease.

Sublessee shall surrender the Premises at the end of the Sublease Term in the condition required by the Master Lease and this Sublease, removing all personal property, returning all keys and access devices, and leaving the Premises clean and undamaged beyond ordinary wear and tear.

Sublessor shall conduct any required move-out inspection and coordinate with Landlord as required by the Master Lease.

11. Default and Remedies

If Sublessee breaches this Sublease or the incorporated Master Lease terms, Sublessor may pursue remedies available under the Master Lease and Quebec law, including application to the TAL where appropriate.

Sublessor remains liable to Landlord for any breach by Sublessee.

If Landlord unreasonably refuses consent to a sublease, Sublessee or Sublessor may apply to the TAL for appropriate relief (e.g., authorization of the sublease or damages).

12. Notices

Notices to Sublessor and Sublessee shall be given at the addresses above or as otherwise designated in writing.

Notice to Landlord of sublease: Sublessor shall deliver written notice of the sublease (including Sublessee's identity and the Sublease Term) to Landlord at least 15 days before the sublease commences (or as otherwise required).

13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

This Sublease is governed by the laws of Quebec, including the Civil Code of Québec (particularly arts. 1870, 1876 on subleases) and the Act respecting the Tribunal administratif du logement.

The TAL has jurisdiction over disputes arising from residential leases and subleases in Quebec.

14. Severability and Entire Agreement

If any provision is invalid, the remainder remains in effect.

This Sublease, together with the Master Lease (Exhibit A), Landlord consent (Exhibit B), and any additional schedules, constitutes the entire agreement between Sublessor and Sublessee concerning the sublease. It does not modify the Master Lease as between Sublessor and Landlord.

Amendments must be in writing and signed by Sublessor and Sublessee (and Landlord where consent is required).
