What is the main focus of a sublease agreement between a tenant and another party?

The main focus of a sublease agreement is to transfer part of possession rights from the original tenant to another party. In a sublease, the original tenant (the sublessor) is allowing a third party (the sublessee) to occupy the property or a portion of it, while the original lease with the landlord remains in effect. This means that the original tenant still holds the primary lease agreement and has responsibilities to the landlord, but is allocating some of those rights to another person for a specified period of time.

This arrangement allows the tenant to legally rent out the property they are leasing, often while maintaining their own status as a tenant under the original lease. The new party does not become a tenant to the landlord; rather, they have a temporary agreement with the original tenant. As such, the focus is on shifting part of the rights of possession, rather than changing ownership of the property, terminating the original lease, or negotiating a different rental price for the entire property.
