An assignment in a deed of trust is a legal transfer of the lender's interest in the security instrument (the deed of trust) to a new party (the assignee). The assignor (current lender) transfers all rights, title, and interest in the deed of trust to the assignee, who becomes the new lender of record.
A lease assignment occurs when a tenant fully transfers their lease to another party. This is particularly important for tenants who wish to get out of their leases early due to financial issues, especially if a landlord does not allow subleases.
ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS - Trustor hereby assigns and transfers to Beneficiary all right, title and interest in rents generated by the property, including rents now due, past due, or to become due under any use of the property, to be applied to the obligations secured by this Deed of Trust.
The assignment of rents clause is a provision in a mortgage or deed of trust. It gives the lender the right to collect rents from mortgaged properties if the borrower defaults. All incomes and rents from a secured property flow to the lender and offset the outstanding debt. Clearly, this benefits the lender.
Final answer: The assignment of rents clause primarily benefits the lender or financier in a mortgage arrangement. However, in some situations, tenants can indirectly benefit from the clause by ensuring continuation of essential services.
Pre-Registration of Deeds was rescinded as of December 9, 2008; however, some boroughs and townships still require registration of deeds after recording. It is the submitter's responsibility to take the deed to the municipality to be registered after it is returned to them from the Recorder of Deeds Office.
