Hospitality Hotel Contract

A Hospitality Hotel Contract covers management, operation, or branding arrangements in the hospitality sector. This playbook guides negotiation of performance benchmarks, termination rights, and brand compliance.

Assignment & Subletting

Why This Matters: Reasonable transfer provisions support business agility and prevent arbitrary refusals that could impede strategic decisions.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Owner:

Negotiate for the right to assign or sublet with minimal restrictions. Ensure that landlord consent cannot be unreasonably withheld and that there is a clear timeframe for response.

If you're the Operator:

Ensure that any assignment or subletting does not negatively impact the property or violate lease terms. Require that the tenant remains liable for obligations under the lease.

Essential elements

1

Landlord Consent

Consent not unreasonably withheld.
2

Response Timeframe

Defined period for landlord response.
3

Financial Obligations

Costs and excess rent sharing.

Action framework

ACCEPT

Propose edits if the response timeframe is too long or if consent conditions are overly restrictive.

EDIT

Reject if the clause allows arbitrary refusal of consent without justification.

ADD

Add language to ensure compliance with local laws and specify operational conditions.

PRO TIP

Always include a provision for deemed consent if the landlord fails to respond within the specified timeframe.

Real-world examples

FAVORABLE

Preferred Clause

"Tenant shall have the right to assign or sublet the leased premises, provided that Tenant obtains the prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Landlord shall respond within fifteen (15) business days, failing which consent shall be deemed granted."
NEUTRAL

Standard Assignment Clause

"Tenant may assign or sublet with landlord's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld."
UNFAVORABLE

Restrictive Assignment Clause

"Tenant may not assign or sublet without landlord's absolute discretion."

Alternative scenarios & positions

High-Risk Projects

In high-risk projects, landlords may require additional assurances or guarantees from the assignee or sublessee to mitigate potential risks.

Short-Term Leases

For short-term leases, the assignment and subletting provisions may be more flexible to accommodate frequent changes in tenant needs.

Multi-Tenant Buildings

In multi-tenant buildings, landlords may impose stricter controls to maintain a balanced tenant mix and ensure compliance with building regulations.
