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 Montana.

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”).

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are looking to transfer their lease to another party may need this document to ensure that the landlord acknowledges and permits the assignment. This consent is crucial for the original tenant to avoid any potential legal issues regarding their lease obligations.
  • Situations requiring a lease assignment often arise when a tenant needs to relocate for work or personal reasons. In such cases, obtaining the landlord's consent through this form is essential to formalize the transfer of lease responsibilities to the new tenant.
  • For those managing rental properties, using this consent form can streamline the process of allowing tenants to assign their leases. It provides a clear record of the landlord's approval, which can help prevent disputes regarding lease obligations in the future.
  • Landlords may require this form to maintain control over who occupies their property. By using the Landlord’s Consent to Lease Assignment, they can ensure that the new tenant meets their standards and is capable of fulfilling the lease terms.
  • When a tenant is unable to fulfill their lease due to unforeseen circumstances, this document can facilitate a smooth transition to a new tenant. It protects the interests of both the landlord and the original tenant by formalizing the assignment process.

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 repercussions.
  • If there is an existing sublease agreement, this form should not be used. Instead, the Landlord’s Consent to Sublease should be utilized to ensure proper documentation of the subleasing arrangement.
  • In situations where the tenant is in the process of eviction, using this consent form may not be advisable. The landlord may not consent to any lease assignments during legal proceedings.
  • If the new tenant does not meet the landlord's screening criteria or rental requirements, this form should not be used. The landlord has the right to deny consent based on their assessment of the new tenant.
