Consent to sublet denied
Hello,
We bought our flat 11 years ago. Now we had decided to move abroad and we want to sublet the flat. We emailed the managing company requesting formal permission to let our flat. According to our lease, we are allow to sublet. Many similar flats in our street are let.
We got a response from managing company in which the landlord rejected the consent without given any reasons. A blank "No"
We have already replied to that asking for reasons and mentioned that our lease allows to let and that we have already found a tenant that fits perfectly for the property.
We are waiting for them to come back.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT
Thanks for the comments it helped me greatly and make me review the documents. I realized we had two lease documents and only the older one applied to our property. In the older lease, we are not required to request permision to let, unlike the newer lease that applies to the shop downstairs.
MANY THANKS!!!
