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.
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.
