Maryland Assignment of Lease from Lessor with Notice of Assignment
About this form

FAQ
Under a typical lease assignment, you transfer all of your space to someone else for the entire remaining term of the lease, and the new tenant pays rent directly to the landlord.Once your landlord has agreed to allow a full assignment, you'll need to secure what the law so often requires: a piece of paper.
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.
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.

As long as you produce a tenant who's shown a history of payment under prior leases and has been a model tenant, a landlord should consent to assignment.
An assignment of a lease is a complete transfer of the right to be the tenant under the lease. The third-party assignee becomes the "tenant" under the lease, taking over all of the leased premises, substituting for the old tenant.

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.
