undertenants
Tenants of tenants
Undertenants are tenants who rent from another tenant rather than directly from the property owner.
The arrangement creates a layer between the primary leaseholder and the subtenant: The building owner discovered several undertenants living in units without his knowledge.
The term appears in legal and property contexts, often regarding lease violations or subletting restrictions.
