FAQ
An assignment is when the tenant transfers their lease interest to a new tenant using a Lease Assignment. The assignee takes the assignor's place in the landlord-tenant relationship, although the assignor may remain liable for damages, missed rent payments, and other lease violations.
There is an agreement about who is liable for the costs of the deed of assignment. The landlord's lawyer usually prepares the agreement. However, the outgoing tenant or the incoming tenant pays these costs, not the landlord.
These will include the purchase price, of course, and bills of sale, assignment and assumption agreements, intellectual property assignments, real property transfer documents and so on, as well as any legal opinions, employment agreements, escrow agreement and other ancillary documents.

An assignment of a lease is a complete transfer of the right to be the tenant under the lease.This means that the tenant remains liable for monthly rent under the original lease, while collecting rent from the subtenant under the sublease, which may be more, less or the same as the rent due under the main lease.
If you need to leave a property before your lease is up, a Lease Assumption Agreement enables the tenant to transfer the lease to another person, known as the "assignee." This process needs to be approved by the landlord.Instead, the original tenant is jointly responsible for the terms of the lease with the assignee.
The difference between assignment and transfer is that assign means it's legal to transfer property or a legal right from one person to another, while transfer means it's legal to arrange for something to be controlled by or officially belong to another person.
Sometimes called Assignment of Leases, Rents and Profits or simply Assignment of Rents, this is a document attached to a mortgage loan agreement which entitles the lender to any income (from leases, rents, etc.) derived from the property once the owner defaults on the loan.
