FAQ
Can the landlord refuse consent to an Assignment? Most leases will say that the Landlord cannot unreasonably withhold consent. According to section 19 (1A) of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1927 the landlord can insert conditions in the lease, which need to be met in the case of an assignment.
There is an agreement about who is liable for the costs of the deed of assignment. The landlord's lawyer usually prepares the agreement. However, the outgoing tenant or the incoming tenant pays these costs, not the landlord.

An assignment is when the tenant transfers their lease interest to a new tenant using a Lease Assignment. The assignee takes the assignor's place in the landlord-tenant relationship, although the assignor may remain liable for damages, missed rent payments, and other lease violations.
An assignment of a lease is a complete transfer of the right to be the tenant under the lease.This means that the tenant remains liable for monthly rent under the original lease, while collecting rent from the subtenant under the sublease, which may be more, less or the same as the rent due under the main lease.
Under a typical lease assignment, you transfer all of your space to someone else for the entire remaining term of the lease, and the new tenant pays rent directly to the landlord.Once your landlord has agreed to allow a full assignment, you'll need to secure what the law so often requires: a piece of paper.
Most often, the lease won't permit assignment without the landlord's approval, but leases often state that the landlord cannot unreasonably withhold consent. As long as you produce a tenant who's shown a history of payment under prior leases and has been a model tenant, a landlord should consent to assignment.
An assignment of a lease is a complete transfer of the right to be the tenant under the lease. The third-party assignee becomes the "tenant" under the lease, taking over all of the leased premises, substituting for the old tenant.
