CAssignment requires a new lease; subletting requires only landlord notification
DAssignment is for commercial; subletting is for residential
Explanation
In a lease assignment, the tenant (assignor) transfers all remaining rights and obligations under the lease to a new tenant (assignee). In a sublease, the original tenant sublets to a subtenant but retains privity with the landlord and remains liable under the original lease. Idaho leases typically require landlord consent for both assignment and subletting.
