A Sublease Agreement lets tenants legally rent out all or part of their rented property to someone else while keeping their original lease active. In Austria, these contracts (Untermietvertrag) must follow strict rules under the Austrian Tenancy Act (Mietrechtsgesetz), including getting written permission from the landlord.

The agreement spells out key details like rent payments, duration, and which areas the subtenant can use. Austrian law gives subtenants specific rights and protections, but they don't have a direct legal relationship with the original landlord. The main tenant stays responsible for rent payments and property damage, making these agreements especially important for both parties to understand fully.

Consider using a Sublease Agreement when you need to rent out your leased apartment or office space temporarily—like during an extended work assignment abroad or when your business needs to downsize quickly. Under Austrian law, this formal arrangement protects both you and your subtenant while maintaining your original lease.

Many Austrian university students and young professionals use subleases when studying abroad or during internships in other cities. Business tenants often sublease during economic changes or when testing new locations. The agreement becomes essential when splitting costs in expensive areas like Vienna's First District, or when maintaining lease rights during temporary relocations within the EU.

A Sublease Agreement differs significantly from an Assignment Agreement in Austrian property law. While both involve transferring property rights, they serve distinct purposes and create different legal relationships.

• Control and Responsibility: In a sublease, the original tenant maintains their lease and remains liable to the landlord, while simply renting to a subtenant. With an assignment, the original tenant transfers all rights and obligations to the new tenant completely
• Duration: Subleases are often temporary arrangements, while assignments permanently transfer the entire remaining lease term
• Landlord Relationship: Subtenants have no direct legal relationship with the landlord - everything goes through the original tenant. Assigned tenants deal directly with the landlord as if they signed the original lease
• Legal Requirements: Under Austrian law, subleases require landlord approval but keep the original lease intact. Assignments need more extensive documentation to transfer all legal obligations
