Landlord Consent to Sublease or Assignment
Typically, the language of the lease agreement between the landlord and tenant will govern whether a tenant can, or cannot, sublease or assign a rental property. However, issues arise when the lease agreement is silent on the matter.
If a lease prohibits assignment or subletting without the landlord’s consent, the landlord may refuse consent for any reason at all, unless the lease specifically requires any refusal of consent to be reasonable.
