Draft Airtight Assignment Clause for Office Building Space

If your lease’s assignment clause is like most, it requires the tenant to get your written consent before it may assign its lease. But unless that consent includes certain conditions, you risk giving the tenant too broad a right and being forced later to rent space to a tenant that isn’t appropriate for your office building, despite the fact that you’ve spent time vetting other tenants to create the right mix at the property. You can avoid this pitfall by clearly specifying the conditions under which you’ll agree to the assignment.
