About this document
A landlord's consent to sublease records that a landlord agrees to a particular sublease of its premises. It identifies the lease and the sublease, states any conditions, makes clear that the tenant remains responsible and records the subtenant's direct undertaking to the landlord.
The consent is narrow: it applies to this sublease only and is not consent to a further sublease, an assignment, a change of use or a change to the sublease. It is signed by the landlord, the tenant and the subtenant. Whether a lease requires consent and what the landlord may reasonably ask for are matters for the lease and the law.
