1. The lessee may not assign the lease contract or sublease the leased property, whether in whole or in part, except with the written consent of the lessor. The lessor's subsequent consent to the assignment of the lease contract or the subleasing of the leased property, whether express or implied, shall have the same effect as prior written authorization for the act. 2. The lessor may grant the lessee in the lease contract the right to assign the contract or sublease the leased property. In the case of subleasing, the terms of the sublease contract may differ from the terms of the original contract, provided they do not conflict therewith, and the term of the sublease contract shall not exceed the term specified in the original contract. 3. If the lessee subleases the leased property, the sublease contract shall govern the relationship between the lessee and the sublessee, and the sublease shall not affect the rights and obligations of the lessee toward the lessor under the original lease contract. 4. If the lease contract concluded with the original lessee is rescinded or terminated, the lessor shall have the right to terminate the contract concluded between the original lessee and the sublessee and to recover the leased property.
