Am I breaking any law against my landlord if I rent out a corner of my shop to another business?

[Kross]

If I run a business in a rented shop and someone approaches me for a small space in the shop to also run a small business.

Would I be breaking any law if I rent out a small space in my shop to the person?

Depends on your lease agreement, . Check if it says anything about subletting or sharing space. If it's silent, still good to give your landlord a heads-up – they might need to know.

Whether subletting space in your rented shop breaks law depends primarily on your lease agreement and local zoning laws. In many jurisdictions, subletting without landlord's explicit permission violates the lease and can lead to eviction
