Subletting in Texas: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
This three-hour course is designed to give the real estate licensee an overview of subletting commercial and residential space in Texas. As the post-pandemic office building market is devasted across the state due to business practices and cultural changes, office building management and landlord/tenant brokerage are the new crisis areas. In this changing commercial and residential marketplace, nothing could be more relevant for the license holder than to understand subletting. Subletting is expected to increase, especially in the soon-to-be or maybe even likely over-built hi-rise residential market. Not only will the course teach the license holder the best ethical and practical practices involving subletting issues and real estate brokerage, but it will also bring the student up to date on the major issues in this new, current, and important segment of real estate brokerage. The knowledge gained by the students from this course will better educate them so they can better serve the public.
