Lord leased a warehouse building and the lot on which it stood to Taylor for a term of 10 years. The lease contained a clause prohibiting Taylor from subletting his interest. Can Taylor assign his interest under the lease?
Yes, because restraints on alienation of land are strictly construed.  Yes, because disabling restraints on alienation of land are invalid.  No, because the term "subletting" includes "assignment" when the term is employed in a lease.  No, because, even in the absence of an express prohibition on assignment, a tenant may not assign without the landlord's permission
