The tenant may sublet or transfer freely its lease, unless prohibited by the lease agreement. The lessee must inform the owner of the assignment or sublease of the business lease. A provision of the lease may lay down special conditions for the assignment of the business lease (e.g. prior agreement of the tenant's successor by the landlord or the drafting of a notarial act). In case of subleasing, the principal tenant remains responsible to the landlord for the subtenant's compliance with the lease agreement. For example, it must ensure that the sub-tenant actually pays the rent to the landlord. En savoir plus sur Entreprendre.Service-Public.fr
