The contract never ends as long as each party keeps up to date with his or her terms of the agreement but can be changed or voided at anytime with “reasonable notice” to the other party as per Section 47a-23.
- Sublease – Is the renting of property from a tenant (‘sublessor’), that is legally under a lease for a fixed term, to sublet a portion or the entire property to another person (‘sublessee’). The sublease length may not go beyond the master or original lease agreement end date. All responsibilities of the sublessee fall onto the sublessor including vacating property, rent payment (landlord is due their money no matter what happens), and any damage incurred.
- Commercial Lease Agreement – For business entities and individuals looking to lease retail, industrial, or office space for professional use from a property owner or manager. Many landlords have to build the space to fit the tenant’s needs, therefore it is common for a lease guaranty to be used in addition to screening through an application.
