If a commercial tenant is subletting a space to another business, the Good Guy Clause remains in effect. This means that, if the sublessee leaves the space before the lease term expires, the original tenant is still the one responsible for the lease. The same principle applies if a company is sold: the original Good Guy Guarantor remains on the hook for the lease. In the event of a company buyout, the landlord might agree to substitute a new Good Guy Guarantor that is a principal of the company acquiring the tenant, and to release the original guarantor from their obligations.
