Since you want to differenciate them, this might be the only way to do so. 好像沒什麼道理。:D

I mean, sublet/sublease (transfer/share).

: But how do English natives differentiate the different transfer/shrae ideas by the same words sublet and sublease? Just curious!

Thanks. Well, I am not sure. But by having in parentheses the explanation, it might work.

Comment: "Wenjer's proposed solution is definitely an alternative. I am also inclined to use Ralph's suggestions as there is a more distinctive difference between the two terms."

sublease in whole or part
If 转租 involves transfer of tenancy, it is fitting to use 'assign or sublet' for 转租、分租 . Otherwise, 转租、分租 means 'sublease in whole or part'.

subleasing / subsidiary leasing
If 转租 means renting out the whole property, and
分租 means renting out part of the property;
then I suggest we call
转租 subleasing, and
分租 subsidiary leasing.
