Re: renters right
I am surprised the lease is silent; it's a standard provision. Many times the transfer of leased property is a material term to the tenant (just as the transfer of the lease is a material term to the landlord and thus landlords always reserve the right to approve assignment of the lease).
Whether you are the landlord or tenant, I may be able to assist. Please contact me directly so we can have a private conversation about your facts, the law, and what your goals are.
