Lessees can use this agreement when they’re subletting a property in Minnesota. Use this Minnesota sublease agreement template to ensure your Sublessee follows all the Master Lease’s rules and that you clearly define the Sublease’s conditions.

​

Parties

This Sublease Agreement to sublet a property (“Sublease”) is entered into on the (Start.Date) between [Sublessor.FirstName][Sublessor.LastName] (“Sublessor”) and [Sublessee.FirstName][Sublessee.LastName] (“Sublessee”). The Sublessor agrees to sublet the property, (Proterty.Name) (“Premises”) to the Sublessee, with the property details as follows:

  • Property Name: (Proterty.Name)

  • Property Address: (Property.Address)

Total Monthly Payment

The Sublessee agrees to pay a monthly rental amount of $(Amount) (“Rent”) to the Sublessor to lease the Premises. The Rent is due on the 1st of each month and is payable using the following methods:

  • (Payment.Method)

  • (Payment.Method)

  • (Payment.Method)

Should the Sublessor not receive the Rent by the 5th day of each month, a late fee of $(Amount) or interest of (Percentage)% will apply on the outstanding balance. The Sublessor will give a 14-day notice to the Sublessee before they file for eviction under the reason of non-payment.

Note that it’s required by Minnesota law that the tenant receive 14 days’ notice before you can file for their eviction if the reason is that they haven’t paid their rental amount. You must also add all monthly non-optional fees the tenant must make with the rental amount.

The Sublessee must also pay the following non-optional fees over and above the Rent:

  • (NonOptional.Fee): $(Amount)

  • (NonOptional.Fee): $(Amount)

That means the total monthly payment the Sublessee must make to the Sublessor is $(TotalMonthly.Repayment).

​

Security Deposit

The Sublessor requires a security deposit of $(Amount) (“Security Deposit”) that the Sublessee pays at the beginning of their tenancy. Any damages or repairs caused by the deliberate actions or negligence of the Sublessee or their guests will be deducted from the Security Deposit at the end of the tenancy.

Note that according to Minnesota law, you must refund the Security Deposit, or its remaining balance, within 21 days of the lease ending and the tenant leaving.

The Sublessor will provide a detailed calculation and statement of any deductions made to the Security Deposit when returning the remaining balance. The funds will be sent to the Sublessee within 21 days after the Sublease ends and the Sublessee vacates the Premises with their possessions.

Term

The Sublessee will take possession of the Premises on the (Start.Date), which is when the tenancy of this Sublease begins. The Sublease will start on (Start.Date), and end on (End.Date), unless both Parties agree in writing to extend the agreement. The Sublessee agrees that under no circumstance will there be a holdover on the Premises by them once the Sublease is terminated.

Utilities

Clearly define what utilities you’re responsible for, as it’ll help avoid misunderstandings. Consider the terms of the master agreement and use the same terms for the Sublease.

The Sublessee will pay for the following utilities for the duration of this lease:

  • Water

  • Electricity

  • Gas

  • Sewer

  • Cable TV

  • Internet

  • Trash Collection

  • Security System

  • Other: (Other.Utilities)

Any of the utilities not ticked or mentioned above are the responsibility of the Sublessor.

​

Move-In Checklist

Note that new laws state that the tenant has the right to request move-in and move-out inspections and be present during these inspections. This is to help avoid Security Deposit deductions which aren’t caused by their negligence or actions.

When the Sublessee takes possession of the Premises, they have:

Requested a move-in inspection, and the Sublessor and Sublessee will both be present at this move-in inspection to take a detailed accounting of the condition of the Premises. Any defects, including but not limited to water damage, material defects, and required repairs, will be made note of and cannot be deducted from the Security Deposit.

Not requested a move-in inspection, with the complete understanding that this can bear a risk to the Security Deposit, and in full knowledge that they have chosen to take on this risk.

Consent of the Landlord

This is a critical section, as it confirms the approval of the Master Lessor in the subletting of this property. Without this section, the document might be seen as an illegal sublet of a property.

The original lease on this property (“Master Lease”) is made between [Sublessor.FirstName][Sublessor.LastName] and [MasterLessor.FirstName][MasterLessor.LastName] (“Master Lessor”) and:

  • Allows for subletting of the Premises

  • Does not allow for subletting unless the Master Lessor has given their prior written consent, which they have for this Sublease

  • Does not allow for subletting, but the Sublessor will ask for permission from the Master Lessor immediately after this Sublease has been signed and authorized. Should the Master Lessor not permit the Sublease, it will be terminated with immediate effect, the full Security Deposit will be returned to the Sublessee, and both Parties will have no further liability.

Master Lease

Note that the below section is important, as it means you don’t need to reiterate some clauses and information in this Sublease. Lead-based paint clauses or liability sections can be left out, as they’ll be part of the Master Lease and thus count towards this agreement.

This Sublease is subject to and must follow the Master Lease, a copy of which is attached hereto. The Sublessee will assume all responsibilities and obligations of the Sublessor in the Master Lease.

All disclosures and statements as required by Minnesota law in the Master Lease will be made part of the Sublease and, when attached to the Sublease, considered disclosed to the Sublessee in accordance with local and state laws.

​

Miscellaneous

Add any other sections or terms you require in this section. You can add rules to the Sublease, provided it doesn’t contradict any terms in the Master Lease.

Smoking Policy

Smoking on the Premises is:

  • Allowed within the following areas: (Smoking.Areas)

Pet Policy
