しかしながら、土地の所有権とともに、当該土地の賃貸借契約における賃貸人たる地位を譲渡した場合について、賃貸人の義務は賃貸人が何人であるかによってその履行方法が特に異なるものではなく、また、土地所有権の移転があったときに新所有者にその義務の承継を認めることがむしろ賃借人にとって有利であることから、特段の事情のある場合を除き、新所有者が旧所有者の賃貸人としての権利義務を承継するには、賃借人の承諾を必要とせず、旧所有者と新所有者間の契約をもってこれをなすことができるものと解されている（最高裁昭和４６年４月２３日第二小法廷判決・民集２５巻３号388頁）。例文帳に追加

However, where the ownership of land is assigned, and where the new owner assumes the role of less or of the land under a pre-existing lease agreement, it is held that, except where special circumstances prevail, the new owner may assume the rights and duties of the former owner by way of agreement between the former owner and the new owner, without obtaining the consent of the lessee. This is possible in part due to the assumption of the less or's duty by the new less or, since the manner in which the duty is fulfilled would not be substantially different, and partly because it is advantageous for the lessee to allow the new owner of the land to assume the less or's duties (Judgment of the Supreme Court of Japan, 2nd Petty Bench, April 23, 1971; 25-3 Minshu 388).発音を聞く  - 経済産業省
