In theory, a sublet seems easy: When you let a tenant sublet its space, the subtenant pays the tenant its rent due under the sublease, and the tenant pays you its rent or percentage rent due under the lease. While that’s the way sublet scenarios are designed and expected to work, you can’t count on the tenant carrying out its part of the bargain. After you’ve consented to a sublet, the tenant could decide not, or be unable, to pay you—even if it’s receiving rent from its subtenant.
