Significant information
The landlord may not refuse to consent to the assignment of the lease without a serious reason.
If the landlord refuses, he must inform the tenant of his reasons for refusing, within 15 days
after receiving the notice. Otherwise, he is deemed to have consented to the assignment.
The assignee becomes tenant and the former tenant is acquitted of his obligations.
Practical advice
To quickly inform the proposed assignee, the landlord should send him a copy of the answer to
the tenant.
To be sure of the nature of the agreement, the tenant and the proposed assignee should sign an
assignment of lease agreement¹.
