MI tenants, sublet the property you are renting to a subtenant with this Michigan Residential Sublease Agreement.

Consent of Landlord

Your original lease agreement will likely require the landlord to consent in writing to the sublease. This sublease template contains a Consent Form to be signed by the landlord.

Subtenant's Duties and Responsibilities

• The subtenant must pay the rent, the utilities and a damage deposit. The sublease form allows you to decide whether these amounts are to be paid to the original tenant (who will then pay the landlord), or directly to the landlord.
• The subtenant must keep the premises in clean and good condition.
• The subtenant is also responsible for meeting all of the obligations of the original tenant under the head lease.

Assignment

The subtenant cannot assign the sublease without the consent of both the landlord and the original tenant.

It is important to remember that a sublease is NOT an assignment. The original tenant is still responsible for ensuring performance of all of the obligations under the head lease until the expiration of the term.

Other Items Included with the Sublease

• The sublease includes a Premises Inspection Report and Inventory Checklist. This checklist should be completed by the parties before move-in and after move-out, to determine the cost of any damage to be deducted from the security deposit. 
• The file also includes a Co-Signer Agreement to be used in the event that the subtenant is a minor (such as a student). This form would be signed by a parent or guardian, who guarantees to pay any amounts due if the tenant fails to pay.

Format and Legal Jurisdiction

This Residential Sublease Agreement template is provided in MS Word format. It is downloadable and can be easily edited to fit your exact needs. 

This legal document form is intended to be used only within the State of Michigan.

Bring in a roommate to share the rent and reduce your rental costs with this Michigan Roommate Agreement.

• Any roommate who plans to vacate the premises is responsible for finding a suitable replacement roommate, and for continuing to pay rent and utilities if he/she fails to find a replacement before moving out.
• The Agreement provides for either equal sharing of rent and expenses, or for a different split of the bills based on usage.
• If pets are allowed, each roommate is solely responsible for cleaning up after, and repairing any damage caused by, his/her pet.

Michigan landlords, if you're deducting any amount from your tenant's damage deposit when they move out, you must provide an itemized Security Deposit Statement within 30 days of the date they move out.

• The Statement sets out the amount of the original security deposit and any additional deposits, less any deductions being made for unpaid rent or utilities, repairs for damages, etc.
• It also sets out whether a refund is being paid to the tenant or if any additional amount is still owing to the landlord.
• The form contains the required notice that the tenant has 7 days after receiving the notice to respond to the landlord or he/she will forfeit the amount claimed.
