Deed of Sub Lease to give the leased property on sub lease to Third Party.

Format of Lease Deed for sub lease of Leased property to another third party tenant.

A sublease is the renting of property by a tenant to a third party for a portion of the tenant's existing lease contract. Even if a tenant subleases a property, the original tenant is still liable for the obligations stated in the lease agreement, such as the payment of rent each month. Sub leasing with the consent of the Landlord is legal in India. If the agreement allows the tenant to sublease it, the tenant can sub lease portion of property to third party. When a tenant whose name is on the lease rents a room, a portion of the property, or all of the property to another, it is referred to as subleasing (or subletting). The subtenant must pay rent and comply with the lease terms, but the principal tenant remains ultimately responsible for the lease.

Sample Format of Sub Lease Deed is given below.
