ASSIGN OR SUBLET. Assignment of this tenancy agreement or subletting or otherwise parting with possession of the whole or part of the rental unit for the whole or any part of the term of this tenancy agreement is prohibited because the rental unit is rented on a rent geared to income basis. If rent for the rental unit is not geared to income, the following will apply: (a) The tenant may assign or sublet the rental unit to another person with the written consent of the landlord. If this is a fixed term tenancy agreement and there are 6 months or more remaining in the term, the landlord must not unreasonably withhold consent. Under an assignment a new tenant must assume all of the rights and obligations under the existing tenancy agreement, at the same rent. The landlord must not charge a fee or receive a benefit, directly or indirectly, for giving this consent. (b) If a landlord unreasonably withholds consent to assign or sublet or charges a fee, the tenant may make an application for dispute resolution under the RTA.
