When a tenant chooses to assign his/her lease in a dwelling to another, the original lease often requires that for such an assignment to be valid, the landlord must consent to the assignment. The following document is a Landlord’s Consent to Assignment. It simply states that the landlord will allow the assignment; however, depending on the provisions of your original lease, the original tenant may still be responsible for the performance of the lease if the assignee (the new tenant) fails in his duties (e.g. to pay the rent). This form should only be used if a separate sublease agreement is not being used. If there is a separate sublease agreement, please use our Landlord’s Consent to Sublease instead of this form.

This form can be used in Connecticut.

This package contains: (1) Instructions and Checklist for the Landlord’s Consent; (2) Information about the Landlord’s Consent; and (3) The Landlord’s Consent to Assignment (the “Consent”).

Frequently Asked Questions

A Landlord’s Consent to Lease Assignment is a legal document that allows a tenant to transfer their lease to another individual with the landlord's approval. This document ensures that the landlord acknowledges and consents to the assignment, which is often a requirement in the original lease agreement.

This form should be used when a tenant wishes to assign their lease to another person and the original lease requires landlord consent. It is important to use this document instead of a sublease agreement if no separate sublease is being created.

Even after the lease assignment, the original tenant may still be held responsible for the lease obligations if the new tenant does not fulfill their duties. This means that the landlord can seek payment from the original tenant if the assignee defaults.

No, this form is specifically for lease assignments. If you are creating a sublease agreement, you should use a different form, such as the Landlord’s Consent to Sublease.

This form is specifically designed for use in Connecticut. If you are in another state, you should consult local laws and use a form that complies with that jurisdiction's requirements.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are looking to transfer their lease to another tenant may require this form to ensure that the landlord officially approves the assignment. This is crucial for maintaining compliance with the original lease agreement and protecting both parties' interests.
  • Situations requiring a tenant to relocate for work or personal reasons often lead to the need for lease assignment. In these cases, obtaining the landlord's consent through this form can facilitate a smooth transition for the original tenant and the new occupant.
  • For those managing rental properties, having a standardized form for landlord consent can streamline the process of lease assignments. This ensures that all necessary legalities are addressed and documented, reducing potential disputes in the future.
  • Landlords may need this form when a tenant requests to assign their lease to a new tenant. By using this document, landlords can formally acknowledge their approval, which is often a requirement outlined in the original lease agreement.
  • Real estate professionals assisting clients with lease assignments will find this form essential. It provides a clear and legally recognized way to document the landlord's consent, which can be critical in real estate transactions.

Do Not Use If:

  • This form is not appropriate if the original lease explicitly prohibits lease assignments. In such cases, attempting to assign the lease without the landlord's consent could lead to legal issues.
  • If there is a separate sublease agreement in place, this form should not be used. Instead, the appropriate Landlord’s Consent to Sublease should be utilized to ensure compliance with the terms of the sublease.
  • Situations where the tenant is not in good standing with the landlord, such as owing back rent, may not be suitable for this form. The landlord may refuse consent based on the tenant's current lease violations.
  • This form is not suitable for tenants who are looking to assign their lease to multiple parties or create a joint tenancy. Each situation may require a different approach or documentation.
  • If the tenant is attempting to assign the lease to someone who does not meet the landlord's screening criteria, this form would not be appropriate. The landlord retains the right to refuse consent based on their tenant selection policies.
