§36-4-11. Covenant against assignment.

In a lease, a covenant by the lessee "that he will not assign or sublet without leave," or a covenant of like import, shall have the same effect as a covenant that the lessee will not, during the term, assign, transfer, set over, or sublet, the premises, or any part thereof, to any person, without the consent in writing of the lessor, his representatives or assigns.
