block let(s)/let(s) as a block
Explanation:
See the link for the example sentence. I'm supposing that "block let" could be used as a verb based on the usage (as a noun) there. The alternative "let as block" would also work.

Still not entirely satisfied there isn't a better term for 'wholesale' rental of a group of properties for subletting.
(Andrei's suggestion of 'rental of the block of flats' isn't wrong, is simply doesn't make it clear that this is a rental of a group of flats.)
