What's a Landlord Consent to Assignment?

In most lease agreements, a tenant is not allowed to sublease their interest in real estate without the prior written consent of their landlord. A landlord's consent to assignment grants that permission to the tenant, so they can transfer the benefits and responsibilities of the lease to another party.
