Subletting the apartment would be valid in this case.

Explanation:

Interest here means the rent owed to Pedro by Alischia. Since the terms of the lease prohibits Alischia from assigning her interest, she cannot transfer or assign her liability to Don. She must receive the rent from Don and if Don does not pay her, she is still liable to pay the rent to Pedro.
