A question of consent

Article Abstract:

Several cases dealing with agreements to assignment in landlord and tenant leases have been heard in the UK courts. A 1997 case found landlords were permitted to ask for full information of a possible assignee when permission to assignment has been requested. In a second case the landlord sought to prevent a tenant subletting commercial premises at a lower rent. The courts agreed the landlord was wrong to have not given consent as the lower rent was not less than market value. But if the landlord had believed the rent to be less than market value it was correct for the landlord to refuse consent.
