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 South Dakota.

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 document that allows a tenant to transfer their lease obligations to another party with the landlord's approval. This ensures that the lease remains valid and that the new tenant can legally occupy the rental property.

You should use this form when you wish to assign your lease to another tenant and your original lease requires landlord approval for such assignments. It is important to ensure that the landlord consents to the transfer to avoid any legal issues.

If the new tenant (assignee) fails to fulfill their lease obligations, the original tenant may still be held responsible for those obligations, depending on the terms of the original lease. This is why it's essential to understand your lease agreement before proceeding.

No, this form should not be used if there is a separate sublease agreement in place. In such cases, you should use the Landlord’s Consent to Sublease instead.

This specific form is designed for use in South Dakota. If you are located in a different state, you should consult local laws and use the appropriate forms that comply with that jurisdiction.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are moving out of their rental property and wish to transfer their lease to another tenant can use this form to obtain the necessary consent from their landlord. This ensures that the lease remains valid and that the new tenant can legally occupy the property.
  • Situations requiring a tenant to relocate for work or personal reasons often necessitate the assignment of a lease. In these cases, obtaining the landlord's consent through this form is crucial to avoid any potential disputes regarding lease obligations.
  • For those who have found a suitable replacement tenant but need to ensure that their original lease remains intact, this consent form serves as a formal agreement between the landlord and the original tenant. It clarifies that the landlord approves the assignment while maintaining the original tenant's responsibilities.
  • Landlords may require this consent form to document their approval of a lease assignment, ensuring compliance with the original lease terms. This protects the landlord's interests and provides a clear record of the agreement.
  • When a tenant is unable to fulfill their lease obligations due to unforeseen circumstances, they may seek to assign their lease. This form allows them to formalize the process with the landlord's approval, safeguarding both parties' rights.

Do Not Use If:

  • This form is not appropriate if there is an existing sublease agreement in place. In such cases, a different consent form specifically for subleases should be utilized to ensure compliance with the lease terms.
  • If the original lease does not allow for assignments or transfers, using this form would be ineffective. It is crucial to review the lease agreement to determine if assignments are permitted.
  • Situations where the landlord has explicitly denied permission for lease assignments should not use this form, as it would not be valid without the landlord's consent.
  • If the tenant is in breach of the lease agreement, they should resolve the breach before attempting to assign the lease. Using this form in such a scenario could complicate legal matters further.
  • This form should not be used if the tenant is seeking to assign their lease for a period longer than what is allowed by the original lease terms. Always ensure compliance with the lease duration specified.
