What is Attachment F-1 related to in the Southern Steer franchise agreement?

According to the 2025 Southern Steer Franchise Disclosure Document, Attachment F is related to the landlord's consent to assignment of lease. This attachment is part of the franchise agreement. This means that if a Southern Steer franchisee wants to assign their lease to another party, they need to obtain the landlord's consent, and Attachment F provides the form for this consent.

This is a standard practice in franchising, as it protects the franchisor's interests by ensuring that the franchisee has a secure location for their business. It also protects the landlord's interests by ensuring that the new tenant is a suitable replacement for the original tenant. The attachment helps to ensure a smooth transition if the franchisee decides to sell or transfer their business.

Prospective Southern Steer franchisees should carefully review Attachment F and understand the conditions under which the landlord's consent is required. They should also be aware of any fees or costs associated with obtaining the landlord's consent. It is important to have a good relationship with the landlord and to communicate openly about any plans to assign the lease.
