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 Illinois.

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 obligations to another party with the landlord's approval. It ensures that the landlord acknowledges and accepts the new tenant as responsible for the lease.

This form is necessary when a tenant wishes to assign their lease to another individual and the original lease requires landlord consent for such an assignment. It is crucial to have this consent documented to avoid any potential disputes.

Yes, depending on the terms of the original lease, the original tenant may still be liable for lease obligations even after assigning the lease. This means if the new tenant fails to pay rent, the original tenant could still be held accountable.

If a landlord refuses to consent to the lease assignment, the tenant may need to negotiate with the landlord or explore other options, such as finding a different assignee or considering a sublease if permitted by the lease.

No, this specific form is designed for use in Illinois. Different states may have their own requirements and forms for lease assignments, so it's important to use the correct documentation for your jurisdiction.

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 is officially notified and consents to the assignment. This is essential for protecting the rights of both the original tenant and the new tenant.
  • Situations requiring a lease assignment often arise when a tenant needs to relocate for work or personal reasons but does not want to break their lease. By obtaining the landlord's consent through this form, the tenant can facilitate a smooth transition without incurring penalties.
  • For those managing rental properties, having a standardized form for landlord consent to lease assignments helps streamline the process of approving new tenants. This ensures that all legal obligations are met and that the original tenant remains accountable under the lease terms.
  • Landlords may need this form when a tenant submits a request to assign their lease to another party. By using this consent form, landlords can formally acknowledge their approval and maintain proper documentation for their records.
  • In cases where a tenant has found a suitable assignee but is unsure about the landlord's stance, this form serves as a proactive step to secure the landlord's approval. This can prevent potential disputes and clarify responsibilities moving forward.

Do Not Use If:

  • This form should not be used if the original lease explicitly prohibits lease assignments. In such cases, attempting to assign the lease without the landlord's consent may lead to legal issues.
  • If there is a separate sublease agreement in place, this form is not appropriate. Instead, the landlord's consent to sublease should be utilized to ensure compliance with the terms of the sublease.
  • In situations where the tenant is seeking to terminate the lease rather than assign it, this form is not suitable. A lease termination agreement would be required instead.
  • If the new tenant does not meet the landlord's screening criteria or qualifications, the landlord may refuse to consent to the assignment, making this form ineffective in such scenarios.
  • This form is not applicable for commercial leases or non-residential properties, as it is specifically designed for residential lease assignments in Illinois.
