What is the condition that allows the Desi District tenant to assign or sublet the Lease to the Franchisor?

According to the 2024 Desi District Franchise Disclosure Document, a tenant, who is also a franchisee, has the right to assign or sublet their lease to the franchisor. However, this right is conditional. The assignment or sublease does not relieve the tenant, or any guarantor, of their liability under the lease. This means that even if the lease is assigned or sublet to Desi District, the original franchisee remains responsible for fulfilling the lease obligations.

Furthermore, if Desi District becomes the lessee of the leased premises, they then have the right to assign or sublease the lease to another Desi District franchisee. This provides Desi District with flexibility in managing the location and ensuring continued operation under the brand.

Finally, any provision in the lease that limits the tenant's right to own or operate other Desi District outlets in proximity to the leased premises does not apply to Desi District itself. This clause ensures that Desi District is not restricted by the same limitations as a franchisee when it comes to operating multiple locations.
