The free sublease contract of the store is legal. (1) Ownership of Shop Property When taking over a shop, the legal effect is different due to the different ownership of house property. If the store used by the transferor of the restaurant is obtained through lease, the sublease of the store must be approved by the first-hand landlord at the time of transfer, otherwise it will constitute illegal sublease, and the first-hand landlord has the right to claim that the sublease is invalid and demand to recover the store. Therefore, when accepting the transfer of a restaurant, if the landlord rents out the store, he should ask the other party to produce a valid property right certificate, and according to the property right certificate, conduct a detailed inspection on the building area and structure of the store to ensure that the actual store matches the information on the property right certificate. If the lessee is transferring the restaurant, the landlord must also come forward, and the three parties should confirm it on the spot to distinguish the ownership of the items in the store. After being clearly defined in detail, it will be explained in the contract. (II) Examination and approval of restaurant procedures The establishment of a legal restaurant is not about renting a facade room. After the renovation, everything will be ready even if the employees are in place. Engaged in catering business, not only to the industrial and commercial administrative authorities for administrative examination and approval, to obtain a business license, but also need to complete the fire, health, taxation, environmental protection and other procedures. Therefore, when buying a restaurant, the receiver should not simply listen to the oral promise of the transferor, but should go to the departments of real estate, fire protection, public security, environmental protection, streets and so on to do detailed consultation and understanding to determine whether the administrative procedures of the restaurant are complete and whether it is allowed to open a restaurant. (3) Determining the scope of the transfer fee I believe that most of the receivers will not forget to discuss and negotiate the transfer fee, but it is common for both parties to ignore the scope of the transfer fee when negotiating the transfer price. That is, whether the transfer expenses listed in the contract include kitchen utensils, air conditioning and refrigeration equipment, table and chair furniture, decoration expenses, rent, foreign debts, etc. In practice, there are many cases of disputes arising from the unclear agreement on the scope of transfer fees. Therefore, when taking over the restaurant, both parties must clearly agree on what the transfer fee includes, including the rent? How long is the rent included? These problems should be confirmed by the landlord and the corresponding written documents should be made.
