Instructions
Identify the original lease, the assignor (current tenant), the assignee (new tenant), and the landlord. Obtain the landlord's written consent as most commercial leases prohibit assignment without consent. The assignee assumes all obligations under the lease. Address whether the assignor remains secondarily liable. Attach the original lease and any amendments.
