For many investors, the most attractive benefit of an assignment of contract is the ability to profit without ever purchasing a property. This is often what attracts people to start wholesaling, as it allows many to learn the ropes of real estate with relatively low stakes.
The thrust of the assignment clause is that the buyer can rent, lease, repair, sell, or assign the property. To “assign” simply means to hand off the benefits and obligations of a contract from one party to another. In short, it's the transfer of contractual rights.
If you communicate clearly, then this is typically not an issue. This is because the seller has signed a legal and binding contract, which makes them obligated to fulfill the terms of the contract. You have every right to perform an assignment of contract when everything has been done legally.
No Party shall assign this Agreement or any part hereof without the prior written consent of the other Parties. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties Parties, and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

The reassignment clause in a contract outlines the conditions under which an employee may be transferred or reassigned to a different position, department, or geographic location within an organization.
Thus, when the tenant retains some right of reentry onto the leased premises, the law deems the transfer a sublease. On the other hand, if the tenant transfers the entire leasehold estate, retaining no right of reentry or other reversionary interest, the transfer is an assignment.
Assignment: Transfers rights only and does not require the debtor's consent. Novation: Transfers both rights and obligations, discharging the original contract, and requires the consent of all parties involved.
Sublease. A sublease, on the other hand, is a separate contract between the original tenant and a subtenant. Unlike an assignment, a sublease only turns over part of a property. That means that the original tenant shares the rights and responsibilities to the premises.
The absence of an assignment clause in an agreement would often mean that a party is allowed to assign its benefit under the contract without the consent of the other party. Where assignment clauses require consent of the other party, this consent should not be unreasonably withheld.
