Usually, contractual provisions that restrict assignment of the contract without the consent of the obligor are valid and enforceable, even when there is statutory authorization for the assignment. The restriction of the power to assign is often ineffective unless the restriction is expressly and precisely stated.

Leases: To maintain control over who is occupying a rental property. Partnership Agreements: To prevent partners from transferring their partnership interests without consent.
