Once a lease has been assigned, the assignee will become the new tenant and will be responsible for payment of the lease rent(s) and ensuring compliance with all of the tenants obligations in the lease, including covenants in relation to repair and maintenance of the property.
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.
The assignment of a lease is a legal process that allows a tenant to transfer or sell their lease to another party. This can be a complex process, but understanding the steps involved can help make it easier.
In summary, while assignment usually means a full and direct handover of lease rights and obligations, transfer is a broader term that might involve different arrangements or partial rights. Both require landlord consent and proper legal documentation.
Tenants of commercial premises who want to transfer or assign their lease, will have to obtain their landlords consent in the first instance. An assignment of a lease can only work if your landlord agrees with your intention to transfer the lease to someone else.

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.
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.
