Assign Break Lease For Free

A deed of assignment of lease used for the assignment of a tenant's leasehold estate under a commercial or retail lease to a third party with the consent of the landlord.

A tenant will generally look to assign its lease when it no longer requires use of the property but there is still some time before the lease comes to an end. For example, your business may have taken a five-year lease, but after two years you need to move.

Transferring a lease is known as assigning a lease. The tenant (lessee) is the assignor of the lease and the proposed new tenant is the assignee. You must ask the landlord in writing for consent to transfer (assign) the lease.

Tenants need the landlord's written consent The landlord and all remaining tenants must agree to the assignment in writing. It's unlawful for the tenant to assign, sublet, or part with possession of the property without the landlord's prior written consent.

An assignment of a lease involves the new tenant (commonly referred to as the assignee) agreeing to take on all of the existing tenant's (commonly referred to as the assignor) lease obligations. The transfer of the interest is for the remaining duration of the lease.

Once the landlord's consent has been obtained, the tenant and assignee can enter into a deed of assignment to transfer the lease to the assignee. If the lease is registered at the Land Registry the assignee will then need to register the assignment at the Land Registry.
