Not sure how 3rd DCA would interpret "sole and absolute discretion", since
it's so willing to apply test for good faith in an exercise of discretion.
I have previously taken George's approach, providing a definition of
permissible criteria. I do think an outright prohibition, maybe in bold
letters, should work, especially if the reasons for it are included, i.e., a
"unique relationship" between landlord and tenant, etc.

I am wondering why would the Landlord even want to risk it? Are you not
better putting in a set of criteria (financial creditworthiness, compatible
use, not in negotiations for other space in the building, the typical stuff)
for what is a reasonable basis for Landlord to reject a proposed assignment?
That works. An absolute prohibition on assignment, without a clear answer,
seems a less than smart risk to take on, under these circumstances.
Is there a compelling economic or risk allocation reason for prohibiting
assignment?

any criteria she desires=sole and absolute discretion, at least in my mind.

David.
I wonder if "absolute or sole discretion would be sufficient to avoid the
good faith requirements of Fernandez v. Vazquez, attached.
Maybe better, an outright prohibition or explicitly say that the Landlord
may apply any criteria she desires.

If the parties freely contract for the Landlord to have absolute or sole
discretion, or if there is a blanket prohibition on assignment which the
Tenant consents to at the outset of the Lease, there is no way for a Tenant
to complain about what it agreed to.

HI:
I am quite familiar with the law that applies and the requirements for good
faith dealing when a commercial lease allows for assignment, but only with:
a. the landlord's consent , or
b. The landlord's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
I believe that a lease can prohibit assignment as well, but does anyone have
a source for that proposition?
