The West Virginia sublease agreement is a legal instrument that is often taken advantage of by tenants who are eager to re-rent the property that they are contractually bound to. Individuals should keep in mind that this is only possible if the principal landlord authorizes the sublet. If permitted, the primary tenant will act as the landlord and is responsible for collecting the rent, security deposit, and any additional fees associated with the contract. The new tenant, known as the subtenant, must adhere to all the terms contained within the sublease until the expiration date of the agreement. (Signatures from both parties as well as the landlord are required in order to accomplish a binding legal document.)
