A tenant with two years left on a lease transfers "all of my remaining interest" in the leasehold to a friend. The friend fails to pay rent. Can the landlord recover rent directly from the friend?
-
A
Yes, because an assignment puts the assignee in privity of estate with the landlord
-
B
No, because the friend never signed the lease
-
C
No, because only the original tenant remains liable
-
D
Yes, but only if the landlord consented to the transfer
