Before assigning the rental agreement to the new tenant, the renter must receive the rental provider’s written approval. A new or modified rental agreement will then be added with the name of the new tenant. Unless there is a valid objection, the rental provider must agree to the transfer of the rental agreement. There is no standard form for asking a landlord to transfer a lease or for transferring a lease from one tenant to another. Rental providers are not permitted to demand payment in exchange for their consent or to withhold consent if a renter won’t pay. If the rental company accepts the transfer, they may request that the tenant cover any reasonable fees associated with creating a new lease.
