In most states, a lease is not assignable without the consent of the landlord, and if the lease is assigned without consent, the assignment is invalid until the landlord consents. However, the landlord must be reasonable in any decision to not consent to the assignment. Therefore, in this scenario, Pete's assignment of the lease to his sister Paula without the landlord's consent is invalid until the landlord consents, and the landlord must be reasonable in deciding whether to give consent or not.
