Can a lease assigment now be refused it the tenant was already appreved?
I want to assign my lease to an individual that has already been approved to rent at the complex I live. My lease does not say that assignments and sublets are prohibited but it does not say they are allowed. It says it is at the property managements discretion. The property management is refusing to allow me to assign my lease to the person that I have found and who has preciously been approved by them. Can they deny this without good reason?

You have answered your own question. The landlord has the right to allow you to assign or sublease the property. This is quite common.
