With a Landlord's Consent to Lease Assignment, landlords and property managers can give formal approval to tenants who wish to exit their lease agreement. The Assignor wishes to assign the Lease to the Assignee and the Assignee desires to assume the Lease from the Assignor.A landlord consent to assignment document grants the tenant permission to transfer the lease's benefits and responsibilities to another party. A landlord traditionally has no duty to consent to the proposed assignment of a lease unless such a duty is expressly stated in the lease. 1. Review the complete consent form to understand its terms. In most cases, a landlord's consent is required under a commercial lease agreement in order to assign the lease to a new tenant. Landlords need to conduct a thorough investigation of the assignee and complete other steps before agreeing to a lease assignment. This form of consent is used when a tenant requests the landlord's consent for an assignment of its lease and the landlord agrees to grant its consent. Leases typically require the landlord's consent for any sublease or assignment. Getting the landlord's permission is the first and most crucial step in setting up an assignment or lease agreement.
