Assignment is better for a tenant who wants to dispose of a lease entirely, while subletting is more suitable if the tenant intends to reoccupy in the future. \nFrom a landlord's perspective if the tenant is proposing to assign to a weaker covenant strength than the tenant, subletting is a better option as it won't create a direct relationship between the landlord and the sublessee. \nAlso assignment is typically of whole while sublease can be of part of the premises (if allowed under the lease).", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
