Conn. Gen. Stat. § 42-412

Current with legislation from the 2024 Regular and Special Sessions.
Section 42-412 - Sublease
(a) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b) of this section, a lessee under a consumer lease may sublease or assign the lessee's rights and interest.
(b) A consumer lease may contain a specific and conspicuous provision requiring the holder's consent to a sublease or assignment of the lessee's rights and interest, and payment of a reasonable fee. In a lease for a period of more than twelve months, the provision must require the holder to consent unless the holder believes in good faith that the sublease or assignment will jeopardize the holder's rights or increase the holder's risk.
(c) Unless otherwise agreed by the holder, the obligations of the lessee under a consumer lease are not affected by a sublease or assignment, and the original lessee and the sublessee or assignee are jointly and severally liable under the assigned lease.
