Consent to assign is the process by which a landlord approves the transfer of a commercial lease to a new tenant. In practice, a solicitor reviews the lease’s assignment provisions, negotiates conditions, and drafts the assignment agreement and any licence to assign. They coordinate with the landlord, original tenant and the proposed assignee, draft notices, gather required documents, and check rent, service charges and any dilapidations or use restrictions. The outcome fixes occupancy, ongoing liability under the lease, and future rent obligations.
