An Assignment of Leases regarding the Sale of Rental Property is a legal document that transfers the rights and obligations of the lease agreement from the current owner/lessor to a new owner/assignee. It is typically used when a landlord (lessor) wishes to sell a rental property to a new owner (assignee) without disrupting the existing lease agreement. The Assignment of Leases document defines the rights and obligations of both parties and outlines the transfer of the lease from one party to another. There are two primary types of Assignment of Leases regarding the Sale of Rental Property: absolute assignment and conditional assignment. An absolute assignment transfers all the rights and obligations of the existing lease to the new owner. This type of assignment is typically used when the existing tenant is in good standing and the landlord (lessor) wishes to transfer the lease without any modifications. A conditional assignment transfers the rights and obligations of the existing lease to the new owner, but with certain conditions. This type of assignment is typically used when the existing tenant has not met the terms of the lease agreement or when the landlord (lessor) wishes to modify the existing lease agreement. In a conditional assignment, the new owner (assignee) may modify the existing lease agreement, such as changing the rental rate or altering the terms and conditions.
