Property Management
In New York, a 'commercial tenant' who subleases space to another company without the landlord's consent (where the lease requires consent) is:
APermitted, because commercial tenants have broad subletting rights
BIn breach of the lease, which could result in the landlord exercising remedies including termination of the lease✓ Correct
CRequired to give only 30 days' notice to the landlord
DAutomatically released from their lease obligations upon subletting
Explanation
Commercial leases in New York frequently require the landlord's prior consent to any sublease or assignment. Subleasing without required consent is a material lease violation that gives the landlord the right to pursue remedies, which may include declaring a lease default, seeking injunctive relief, or (if the lease permits) terminating the tenancy.
