Most commercial leases require landlord consent for any assignment. To ask for this, you need to send a Request for Consent letter to the landlord. This letter should include details about the new tenant (assignee), like: The nature of their business.
An assignment is a full transfer of the lease between the tenant and the assignee. Therefore, since the tenant no longer has any ownership interest in the property, there is no longer any relationship between the landlord and the tenant as far as the property ownership is concerned.
Assignment of a lease If a tenant assigns (transfers) the lease to another person, Stamp Duty must be paid on the assignment. You treat an assignment the same way as a purchase of property. Mary leases the premises in which she conducts her accountancy business from John.
Answer. Under a typical lease assignment, you transfer all of your space to someone else for the entire remaining term of the lease, and the new tenant pays rent directly to the landlord. If the new tenant fails to pay rent or damages the rental, your landlord could look to you for compensation.
In general, the landlord must agree to the lease transfer, and usually records their consent to it via a document called a license to assign.

The Principle of Assignment in Commercial Leases This process is called an assignment of the lease. Essentially, the tenants obligations and rights under the lease agreement transfer to the new owner, who assumes the position of the previous landlord.
The new owners must honor the existing arrangements, including the duration of the original lease, and no matter what the length of the remaining term, must provide the tenants with at least 90 days advance notice before requiring the tenants to vacate the property.
