Sublease Addendum Term Sheet

List the points you and your landlord need to agree before signing a sublease addendum.

Verbal permission is not enough for rental arbitrage. The landlord’s consent, and the conditions attached to it, belong in a written addendum to the lease. This tool turns your answers into a term sheet: the list of points to agree before anyone drafts the legal wording.

What the Term Sheet Covers

  • Permission to rent the unit as furnished short-term or mid-term accommodation.
  • Guest rules: maximum guests, minimum stay, quiet hours and no parties.
  • Compliance: who gets permits, and who collects and pays occupancy taxes.
  • Insurance and naming the landlord as additional insured.
  • Damage, access, neighbors, and how the unit is returned at the end.
  • Change in law: what happens if local rules stop short-term renting.

How to Use It

  1. Fill in the names, address, lease term and guest limits.
  2. Choose whether to allow mid-term stays, include a change-of-law exit, and offer a revenue share.
  3. Copy the term sheet and bring it to the landlord conversation, then to an attorney.

Pair it with the landlord pitch script generator for the first approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is This a Legal Document?
No. It is a list of points to agree, written in plain English. An attorney licensed in your state should draft or review the actual addendum.
Why Include a Change-of-Law Clause?
Short-term rental rules can change during a lease. Agreeing in advance what happens protects both sides.
Should I Offer a Revenue Share?
Some landlords are more comfortable with a share of revenue. It lowers your margin, so run the numbers first.
What Liability Limit Should I Carry?
Ask the landlord what they require and confirm with your insurer.
