What is a request to sublet letter?

A Request to Sublet Letter is a written request from a commercial tenant to a landlord asking for consent to sublease all or part of the leased space. Many commercial leases require landlord approval before subletting.

What should be included in a commercial sublet request?

Include: lease reference, premises details, the proposed subtenant’s information, sublease term, intended use, confirmation the subtenant will comply with lease rules, and any attachments (subtenant financials, draft sublease, insurance). This template includes a clean checklist of common attachments.

How far in advance should you request consent?

As early as possible. Commercial leases may require a formal review period and may allow the landlord to request additional information. This template includes a proposed response deadline you can adjust.

Can the landlord deny the request?

It depends on the lease and local law. Many leases allow the landlord to approve or deny based on reasonable criteria, while some give broader discretion. This template avoids legal conclusions and focuses on providing complete information.

Should you offer to pay a consent fee?

Some leases allow administrative or consent fees. If your lease mentions fees, include it. If not, you can simply ask the landlord to advise if any processing fee applies.
