Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Michigan

lease agreement

I am being sued by my landlord for breaking my lease (which was due to some wrong information by the property manager). However, in the lease there is a clause that says ''assignment of this agreement is prohibited.'' This does not designate between the landlord of tenant. Any thoughts on this?

Re: lease agreement

The assignment clause is generally done so that you as a tenant can not simply agree with someone else that they will take your place. If someone else is to occupy the home they must apply, be approved and have a new lease drafted to "replace" yours. Frequently this is coupled with some mention of a sublet not being approved either.
