A nonassumption clause, also known as a due-on-sale clause, is a clause in a mortgage contract that prevents the transfer of the mortgage terms to another borrower in the event of a sale. This clause is used to protect lenders from the potential risks of new borrowers who might be less creditworthy than the original borrower.
