Some leases require the consent of the lessor to any assignment to be made of a lease by the lessee. This form provides for that consent, specifically providing that it will not be deemed a consent to any subsequent assignments made of the lease.
Typically, the existing lease stays in place, but the new tenant would be responsible moving forward, just like you were.
If they say no, you might have to stick it out or try to negotiate with them to find a solution that works for both sides.
Not necessarily, but as long as the new tenant is responsible and meets the lease requirements, there’s a good chance they will give you the green light.
You usually need to write a formal request to your landlord, explaining who you want to assign the lease to and why it’s a good idea.
The landlord wants to know who’s moving in and ensure they’re a good fit for the property, so it's all about keeping things above board.
It's a legal document that allows a tenant to transfer their lease or rental agreement to someone else, with the landlord's approval.
