Landlord Considerations When Drafting Assignment and Subletting Provisions

Restricting a tenant’s right to transfer the property it is leasing to a third party is a key component to any lease. Many lenders require landlords to obtain lender consent before the transfer is effective. Failure to obtain such consent could lead to a landlord’s default under the terms and conditions of the loan documents, so it is imperative for a landlord to review its loan documents each time it receives a request from a tenant to transfer its interest under the lease.

Restricting a tenant’s right to transfer the property it is leasing to a third party is a key component to any lease.
