Master Lease
- Major lease in a structure that controls subleases. An example is a landlord and attorney entering into a main lease for the third floor offices of building. This lease takes precedence over a sublease between the attorney and an accountant for one of the offices.
- A controlling property lease. Subleases are controlled by the master lease in the sense they cannot extend beyond the terms of the master lease. For example, John grants Jack a 10-year master lease on a commercial office building, Jack can sublease the offices for terms not to exceed the 10-year master lease.
