    What happens to subtenants if the RDSC terminates a primary lease?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    If the RDSC issues an award terminating a primary lease, a Subtenant may sometimes be allowed to remain in the property. This protection applies only if the sublease contract was approved by the landlord. In such instances, the subtenant can continue their occupancy under the specific terms of their sublease. This rule prevents authorised subtenants from being unfairly displaced due to a dispute or agreement between the primary tenant and the landlord, maintaining stability for all legal residents.
