The Commercial Lease Assumption Agreement is utilized when a business needs to transfer its commercial lease obligations to another party. This commonly occurs during business acquisitions, downsizing, or when a tenant needs to exit a lease before its natural termination. The agreement ensures a smooth transition of lease obligations while protecting all parties' interests under U.S. state and federal laws. It documents the landlord's consent, outlines the assuming party's responsibilities, addresses security deposit transfers, and may include modifications to the original lease terms.
