[RPPTL LandTen] Duty of Landlords re Consenting to Subleases

[Manuel Farach]

Here is a recent decision from the Fourth District Court of Appeal on its duty when confronted with a sublease:



Siewert v. Casey, --- So.3d ----, 2012 WL 635426 (Fla. 4th DCA 2012).

A lease that requires landlord consent for subleasing, without specific standards, is subject to a duty of good faith so that the landlord may not arbitrarily withhold approval of the sublease.
