## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Commercial Property & Leasing](https://ailawframework.com/practice/commercial-property-and-leasing.md) |
| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| How AI is used | Extract the lease's assignment and subletting clause, the proposed assignee, and the conditions the clause lists. Write no sentence of the consent, the deed, or the landlord's letter. |
| What the lawyer must review | Consent is a contract question unless a state statute you have opened says otherwise. Texas Property Code Chapter 93 does not create a right to assign. California Civil Code § 1624(a)(3) requires a subscribed writing for an agreement to lease real property for longer than one year; check whether the assignment in front of you is that kind of agreement. You draft the consent that will be signed. A tool's paragraph does not go into it. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: Extract the lease's assignment and subletting clause, the proposed assignee, and the conditions the clause lists. Write no sentence of the consent, the deed, or the landlord's letter.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Reasonableness of refusal is a matter of the lease and the governing state's cases. Do not assume a covenant of reasonableness.
- Model Rule 1.1, Comment 8, covers the technology used to compare the clause.
