Overview
Sublease Agreements in Florida
Florida subleases are governed by the Florida Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. In Florida, subleasing is permitted unless the master lease explicitly prohibits it. If the lease requires landlord consent, the landlord cannot unreasonably withhold it if a qualified subtenant is presented.
