FAQ
What is one important difference between a sublease and a lease assignment? In an assignment, responsibility for the original lease is transferred completely to the assignee. In a sublease, the original tenant retains primary responsibility for performance of the original lease contract.
Property rights With an assignment, the assignor transfers the complete remainder of the interest to the assignee. The assignor must not retain any sort of reversionary interest in the right to possess. The assignee's interest must abut the interest of the next person to have the right to possession.
Assignment is a way that a tenant can transfer their tenancy to another person. On assignment, the assignor's legal interest in a property is passed to the assignee who takes over that interest and becomes the tenant.
Assumption is like an Assignment except the seller is released from all liability under the terms of the lease. This is rare and it almost never happens. Sublease is where possession is transferred to the buyer (subleasee) with the seller retaining all the same rights as though he/she were the tenant.
