Assignment of Lease involves the transfer of rights to use a leased property. The new tenant, or assignee, acquires all the rights and privileges of the original lessee (assignor), who remains responsible to the landlord unless formally released.
An assignor is a party who assigns or transfers an agreement or contract to another. This transfer effectively assigns rights or responsibilities from one party to another, creating a new contractual relationship.
