“Is my landlord going to drag its feet if I try to assign or sublet the lease?” That’s a question that has kept many a tenant lying awake in bed at night. Rather than risk a delay that might ultimately cost them the assignment or sublease, these tenants may insist on requiring the landlord to say yes or no to the request within a specific time limit, like 30 days. They also want the lease to state that failure to respond within the specified time limit counts as a “yes.” And if the tenant has enough bargaining clout, you may have to accept its demands.
