FAQ
Also referred to as an assignment and assumption, an assignment and assumption agreement is an agreement that is established when one party of a contract wishes to transfer his or her contractual obligations and rights to another party.
An assignment and assumption of lease is a legal real estate document that allows one party to transfer rights and obligations of a lease to another party. Often used in real estate transactions and mortgage lending, the assignment and assumption of lease agreement requires the landlord to consent to move forward.
The party making the assignment is called the assignor, while the third party accepting the assignment is known as the assignee. The assignor assigns their rights and duties under the contract to the assignee and the assignee accepts, or "assumes," those rights and duties.
If the lessee transfers his or her entire remaining interest in the tenancy, then the transfer is known as an assignment. If the lessee transfers only part of his or her interest, then the transfer is known as a sublease.
An assignment is the transfer of one party's entire interest in and obligations under a lease to another party. The new tenant takes on the lease responsibilities, including rent and property maintenance, and the original tenant is released from most (if not all) of its duties.
An assignment and assumption of lease is a legal real estate document that allows one party to transfer rights and obligations of a lease to another party. Often used in real estate transactions and mortgage lending, the assignment and assumption of lease agreement requires the landlord to consent to move forward.
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.
Assignment and assumption agreements are analogous to bills of sale, except they effect the transfer of contracts, permits and similar assets by the seller to the buyer in an asset purchase transaction.
