Inadvertently granting consent under a lease - 2001 - Commercial Property 4(1) 2001, 2-3(1) .

A tenant requires the landlord's consent before assigning the lease subletting, carrying out alterations or changes of use of the demised property. A landlord normally consents using a formal licence granted as a deed, containing terms and conditions to protect the landlord's position. However, a landlord needs to beware of granting consent inadvertently before the licence is completed. Suggests wording to avoid this.
