We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

Who will be liable under assignment of lease?

Once a lease has been assigned, the assignee will become the new tenant and will be responsible for payment of the lease rent(s) and ensuring compliance with all of the tenants obligations in the lease, including covenants in relation to repair and maintenance of the property.

What is the process of assigning a lease?

Assigning a lease simply means transferring your lease to another person so that they become the new tenant. Once the assignment has taken place the lease continues to exist and the new tenant becomes liable for all of the tenants obligations in the lease.

How does a lease assignment work?

A lease assignment occurs when a tenant fully transfers their lease to another party. The landlord must agree to the lease transfer, and usually records their consent to it via a document called a license to assign.

Who pays lease assignment fees?

In lease assignments, the assignee pays the landlords legal and administrative fees, while the assignor covers the cost of drafting the deed of assignment. Below, we break down how fees are typically divided and what factors influence who pays.

What is the difference between a lease agreement and a lease assignment?

Lease vs. Assignment. A lease is a contractual agreement between a landlord and a tenant, allowing the tenant to use and occupy a property for a specified period in exchange for rent. An assignment is the act of transferring the rights and obligations of that lease to another party.

Does an assignment of lease need to be recorded?

Generally, tenant rights may permit recording the assignment to protect their interest in the property; however, many leases require landlord consent. The recording process itself is a formal procedure that documents the assignment publicly but does not override contractual obligations.
