Assignments occur when a tenant "sells" their right to lease property to another party. Disputes frequently occur when the tenant wants to assign their lease to an unqualified new tenant or the new tenant's business is different and in conflict with the remaining tenants. Disputes can also occur when a landlord unreasonably refuses to allow assignment to an otherwise qualified new tenant.
