Don't Let Consent to One Assignment Become Carte Blanche for Future Assignments

Boilerplate language requiring tenants to get your consent to assign the lease may not be enough to guarantee your right to consent to future assignments. Thus, in saying yes to a lease assignment, you may be inadvertently consenting to all of the subsequent assignments that the assignee chooses to make. Result: You lose control over which business occupies the premises for the rest of the lease term.
