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 Washington.

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 the new tenant and clarifies the responsibilities involved.

This form should be used when a tenant wishes to assign their lease to another individual and the original lease requires landlord approval. It is important to ensure that the landlord's consent is documented to avoid any disputes.

If the new tenant fails to pay rent, the original tenant may still be held responsible for the lease obligations, depending on the terms of the original lease. This form does not absolve the original tenant of their responsibilities.

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 form is specifically designed for use in Washington state. If you are in a different state, you should consult local laws and possibly use a different form that complies with your jurisdiction's requirements.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are looking to transfer their lease to another party may need this form to ensure that the landlord officially approves the assignment. This is crucial for maintaining compliance with the original lease terms and protecting the tenant's rights.
  • 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 document can facilitate a smooth transition for both the original tenant and the new occupant.
  • For those managing rental properties, having a standardized form for landlord consent to lease assignments is essential. This ensures that all lease assignments are documented properly, protecting the landlord's interests and clarifying the responsibilities of the new tenant.
  • When a tenant is unable to fulfill their lease obligations due to unforeseen circumstances, they may seek to assign their lease. This form allows the landlord to formally acknowledge the assignment, ensuring that the original tenant remains liable if the new tenant defaults.
  • Landlords may require this consent form when a tenant requests to assign their lease. It serves as a legal acknowledgment that the landlord has reviewed and approved the new tenant, thus safeguarding the integrity of the rental agreement.

Do Not Use If:

  • This form is not appropriate if there is an existing sublease agreement. In such cases, a different consent form should be utilized to ensure compliance with the specific terms of the sublease.
  • If the original lease does not allow for assignments, using this form would be ineffective. Tenants should first review their lease terms to determine if assignments are permitted before proceeding.
  • Situations where the landlord is unwilling to consent to the assignment should also avoid using this form. It is crucial to have the landlord's approval for the assignment to be valid.
  • This form should not be used if the tenant is seeking to terminate their lease rather than assign it. Different legal documentation is required for lease termination.
