Navigating assignments and subletting: A practical guide for landlords and tenants

In the next session in our Property Disputes client webinar 2026 programme, Khushal Thobhani, Donal Kelly and Victoria Aujla will be navigating through all the traps for the unwary (for both landlords and tenants) when dealing with applications for consent. 

This session will cover:

• Understanding your lease restrictions: distinguishing between absolute, qualified and fully qualified covenants against alienation.
• Legal tests: a quick overview of the "need to know" parts of the relevant statutes
• The consent application process: information to be provided, timeframes and the potential consequences of delay and proceeding without consent.
• Conditionality: a look at what conditions (rent deposits, guarantees, AGAs) can and cannot be imposed on granting consent.
• Avoiding delays and disputes: risk management strategies for landlords and practical tips for tenants in pre-empting objections and negotiating consent terms.
