Assign a Lease A tenant may not assign the lease without the landlord's written con- sent. The landlord may withhold consent without cause. If the landlord reasonably refuses consent, the tenant cannot assign and is not entitled to be released from the Lease.
In case of a residential property, a landlord can assign his leases to the new buyer of the building. The landlord will assign the right to collect rent to the buyer. This will allow the buyer to collect any and all rent from existing tenants in that property.
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 and transfer it to a new tenant before the rental term is complete.
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.
Templates for lease agreements are widely available online; however, it is important to know how to write a lease agreement and what information must be included. Even if you decide to draft your own lease agreement, it is good practice to have it reviewed by an experienced attorney before executing.
