Description

An assignment is a transfer of rights that a party has under a contract to another person, called an assignee. The assigning party is called the assignor. An assignee of a contract may generally sue directly on the contract rather than suing in the name of the assignor. A valid assignment takes effect the moment it is made regardless of whether notice of the assignment is given to the other party to the contract. If the obligor is notified that there has been an assignment and that any money due must be paid to the assignee, the obligor's obligation can only be discharged by making payment to the assignee. In other words, payment to the assignor would not satisfy the contract after notice. If the obligor does not know of the assignment and makes payments to the assignor who does not turn the money over to the assignee, the assignee cannot sue the obligor, but does have a remedy against the assignor.

The Maine Agreement by Lessor to Assign Lease Agreement refers to a legal document that outlines the transfer of a lease agreement from the current lessor to a new party, known as the assignee. This agreement is commonly used when the original lessor wants to transfer their rights and obligations under an existing lease to another individual or entity. In this agreement, the lessor, also referred to as the assignor, formally agrees to assign the lease to the assignee. The assignee, in turn, accepts the assignment and becomes responsible for fulfilling all terms and conditions of the original lease agreement, including rental payments, property maintenance, and compliance with any lease provisions. The document typically contains essential details such as the names and contact information of both parties, the property address, the effective date of the assignment, and the duration of the assignment. It should also include a clause specifying whether the lessor retains any liability or responsibility for future lease obligations, repairs, or damages after the assignment.
