Something short of an assignment and a sublet, which we like to make sure that we work into certain leases is what’s called the desk sharing agreement or space sharing agreement, which essentially means you don’t need landlord’s approval but you can have one or more persons or a certain portion of the office or a certain number of desks and a true desk sharing arrangement that you could have people come in, share the office with you.
They need to abide by the terms of the lease. But the landlord doesn’t get a right to approve their existence in your space. They might not have the right to throw their name up on a directory, but they can legally be in your space typically without even notice to the landlord. But certainly not with the landlord’s approval. And those are things we work in at the lease negotiation stage.
