Correct Answer
D) A tenant subleases the space to another party
Why this is correct: A sandwich lease position is created when a tenant (the sublessor) subleases the property to another party (the sublessee). The original tenant is 'sandwiched' between the property owner (the lessor) and the new occupant. Why the other choices are wrong: 'The tenant purchases the leased fee interest' describes a purchase, not a leasehold position. 'The landlord holds two properties under one lease' is not a standard term. 'A ground lease and a building lease overlap' describes a leasehold estate, not specifically a sandwich position. Exam tip: The value of a sandwich lease is the difference (spread) between the rent the sublessor collects and the rent they pay to the owner.
