Assignment of Tenancy Agreement

The Assignment of Tenancy Agreement can be used in a number of different ways. It is also sometimes referred to as called a Deed of Assignment depending on who you speak with. An Assignment of Tenancy Agreement is going to change the hands of the tenancy to another person. In a typical tenancy situation the tenant signs a Tenancy Agreement outlining that they are responsible for the rent and the landlord is responsible for making the home rentable.

The Assignment of Tenancy Agreement is for subletting or when a landlord is selling the property. To make this easier to understand we will look at each option individually for you. If you are talking about a Tenancy Agreement in which the tenant needs to sublet the property to another tenant an Assignment of Tenancy is needed. The tenant may decide they need out of the Tenancy Agreement, but instead of cancelling the agreement they find someone else to rent the apartment. The original tenant is still on the lease, but the Assignment of Tenancy Agreement makes the payment of rent the responsibility of the subletting party.

For anyone seeking this type of Assignment of Tenancy Agreement you will have to get the permission of the landlord. The landlord has the final say in whether they will allow another tenant into the property. Some landlords are comfortable with this if the original tenant only plans on being out of the property for a few months and then returning to finish out the tenancy. On the other hand landlords may be unwilling to enter into this type of agreement because of the potential risks involved regarding the rent being paid.

The second use of an Assignment of Tenancy Agreement is when a landlord is selling the property to another person. The person buying the property will have to take over the Tenancy Agreement. When the buyer signs the Assignment of Tenancy Agreement they are agreeing to the terms the original landlord and tenant decided upon. By taking over the agreement the new landlord is not allowed to cancel the agreement unless there is reasonable cause.
