Friend, if you disapprove of taking over the store from the perspective of legal risk, I will help you analyze it from the perspective of rationality and law: 1. Theoretically speaking, you said you were worried that he was a liar, which showed that you were unfamiliar with the sublessor and lacked basic trust. However, as you said, there are many contents that cannot be directly expressed clearly. Both parties just need the most basic trust, and the sublessor has only one lease term. ; 2. From the legal point of view, the sublessor's behavior belongs to illegal subletting. Let me explain first that illegal subletting means that the lessee sublets without the consent of the lessor. I'll try to say it in a popular way. In your case, the lessor is a shopping mall, the lessee is the owner of the store you want to take over, and the sublessor is you. First of all, the agreement you signed with the sub-tenant is only valid between you and the sub-tenant. However, the lessor is unaware of the agreement and has clearly indicated that it does not agree to sublease. Once the lessor knows about your subletting behavior, the lessor has the right to request to terminate the lease contract with the sublessor and recover the store. Secondly, because the mall is a lease contract signed with the sublessor and the mortgage is paid by the sublessor, even if it is refunded, the mall will return it to the sublessor, not you. So if you ask, is it useful to sign an agreement? I can only say that such an agreement is risky and uncertain. Maybe I'm conservative.

If you are really interested in renting a storefront, I suggest you start from the following aspects: 1. Identify the identity information of the sublessor in detail, including keeping a copy of the ID card. It is best to ask him to provide proof of household registration, and determine the permanent address and household registration address of the sub-tenant, so as to find someone in case of dispute; 2. When signing the agreement, express the risks you think in the most detailed and popular way, and don't consider using legal language, because based on your own understanding and expression of the law, it is likely to miss the main points; 3. At the end of the agreement, it is stipulated that "if the sublease fails to perform any of the above items as agreed, it shall pay you the economic compensation of finding another store", and try to write an amount that can make up for your loss in case of a dispute; 4. Don't pay the 50,000 pounds mentioned by the sublease Yuan You. It is estimated that the sublessor also considers that in case of disputes, the store may deduct or pay the deposit in full, so you are required to pay the deposit first to avoid risks, so don't pay the 50 thousand yuan first. If there is no dispute during the period, the store will naturally return the deposit directly to the sublessor.
