When you rent out a mortgaged property, you may have to sign over an Assignment of Rent agreement to the lender. By doing so, you authorize the lender to collect rent on your behalf if you default on the mortgage.
The Assignment of Rent provides an additional security to the lender in case you default on the loan. The lender will use the Assignment of Rent only when you default on the loan. Through this agreement, he will be able to collect rent payments on your behalf till the end of the lease period and recover the unpaid loan balance. Any extra cash collected by the lender will be returned to you. Once the debt is fully paid off, the assignment of rent will become null and void.
The Assignment of Rent agreement empowers the lender access to critical funds to service debts. One major advantage of this agreement is that it is comparatively cheaper and quicker than appointing a receiver. It is beneficial from the point of view of lenders as the lenders can perform the work himself/herself without the help of a receiver. This provides the lenders appropriation power that is not usually found in standard mortgage.

What does an assignment of rent mean & when would it be used.
Hi tom b.!
There is a document known as "Withdrawl of Notice of Pending Action" which has to be executed by the party who filed the original lis pendens. Then that has to be recorded at the county recorder's office. This will help in removing the pending lawsuit.
Thanks,
Jerry

alender who demands and is paid an eronous amount on the payoff of a recourse loan can whata/
Welcome supergoalie,
In a recourse loan, a lender can come after you for any excess amount of money you owe. So if you have been late on payments, the lender can come after you and charge you extra amount.
It will be easier for me to answer your query if you can give further details about your situation.

What should a tenant do if an assignment and possible foreclosure is happening and they are not informed by any parties involved? If the lease is up adn a month-month has been signed should they just leave or deal with the fact that they are being lied to and the rent is being unjustly increased?
I meant a month-tomonth has NOT been signed yet.
Hi D
Has the property been sold at the auction? As far as I know, the laws regarding the rights of the tenants in case of foreclosure may vary from state to state. You can contact the lender and check with him if he will allow the tenants to stay in the property. If you have an agreement with the landlord, then you can check the clauses as to what you can do if the property forecloses. You can even contact an attorney and check out what steps you can take against the landlord.
Thanks.

Someone other than the listed property owner tells me to make out the checks to him because he's the owner. The name on the Summons is NOT his. The Assignment of Rents says that once owner is notified of default that rent should be made out to the Lender or Lenders agents. I have not heard from the bank. Lease has expired. Do I pay rent at all??? please help
Hi Tash,
As the lease has expired, didn't you renew the lease with the landlord? In my opinion. you will have to contact your landlord and check with him first. If you cannot contact the lender, then it will be better if you can contact the lender or the lender's agent. As the lease agreement has expired, then you will not be legally obliged to pay the rent. However, if you want to continue living in the property, then it will be better if you can sign a new lease agreement.
Thanks

Thank you so much for answering Niicss. :-) No I didn't renew the lease due to the fact that I was served the summons about the foreclosure. It's along story but in short the area was bought by an investment company that went bad. Money was not going where it should have, due to poor managment. I recieved a letter in the mail telling me to send my rent checks to "the man" who claimed in the letter that is the owner of the house. The papers show another name as the owner. He shows up and ask me to write a check (which i did NOT.) I want to know if I'm doing the right thing by not sending the money. The 1-4 Family Rider (assignment of rents) says that if the owner falls into default that the Lender shall recieve rents from tenant upon written request once the borrower as been notified the owner of the default. Now I am planning on moving as soon as possible and I haven't gotten anything from the bank. If the real owner contacts me, never met him, do I pay him?? I'm sorry for being so long I'm just worried and confused. They don't even have my old lease and they have records that are incorrect about the # of payments that have made.
To make matters worst they assigned a tenant to manage the area and he as no idea about how many houses are in foreclosure. He is still renting houses that are close to auction. One couple recieved a note on their door to leave in 5-7 days, they'd just moved in two months prior. Is that legal?
Again sorry for being to long.......

Hi Tash,
As you haven't signed a new lease agreement with the landlord, I don't think you are liable to pay the rent to the property. But if you intend to stay in the property, then it will be better if you pay off the dues. However, for doing this, you need to draw a new lease agreement. If you do not intend to stay in the property, then it will be better if you could move out of it as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Jerry

How long does the assignment of rent go on, say the owner gets a notice of default and I am forced to pay the bank directly as a tenant under the assignment of rent. Does the bank continue to accept payment from me for the life of the loan or do they still proceed with foreclosure actions.
As far as I know, the bank will proceed with the foreclosure actions and you will have to leave the property.
We rent for our business, about 1100 square feet. The building owner is walking away and is going to file bankruptcy. The lender wants my rent check but will not maintain the building. The lender said that maintenace is the owners responsibility. What can I do?
I should have mentioned I have 2 years left on a lease.
Hi
I believe you are the tenant and the owner of the building is walking away. The lender now wants you to pay the rent to them. As the owner has walked away, the lender can ask you to pay the rent check to them to recover the loan amount, but this is true that they won't be maintainig the building. It's solely the owner's responsibility. I think it would be worth your while to get the lease contract reviewed by an attorney and see what rights you're entitled to in this situation.
