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.
what does a Substitution of Trustee mean? the house i'm renting is in a pre foreclosure status.
what does bond process server mean?
We are a renter in a business building running a restaruant. The owner is in default on his loan and has been in foreclosure for 2 years. The mortgage company has exercised their Assignment of Rents clause and we are paying them directly. The owner who is in default is now trying to evict us for non payment to him and has threatened to change the locks. What is our recourse?
Hi
To roman,
The mortgage company could exercise the assignment of rent clause because the owner had signed on such an agreement with the company. Now, when he signed on the agreement, he knew that if he dafaults on the loan the mortgage company would collect the rent on his behalf to recover the loan. Thus, the owner does not have any right to evict you for non-payment to him. You can consult a lawyer regarding this. But I believe he cannot do anything but threaten you to change the locks.
Hi
To kissmytat,
A substitution of trustee is a written document that replaces the current trustee in the deed of trust and appoints a successor trustee. This is validated by a notary public and recorded with the county recorders office. This is filed prior to the filing of a notice of default during the pre-foreclosure process.
Service of process is the process of delivering the summons, complaints and other legal documents to the individual to whom the document is directed. A legal process server is an individual who delivers/serves these legal documents to the individual involved in a court case.

Where do I file an assignement of rents and leases in Texas?
Hi Tulsa,
It is often included within the mortgage agreement. The lender can also prepare a separate agreement for the assignment of rent and have it signed by the borrower whereby he authorizes the lender to collect the rent on his behalf if he defaults. So, if it is not included within the current agreement, you should get a separate agreement drafted by an attorney.
Thanks,
Jerry

I'm wondering about assignment of rents with the following parameters.
Let's say that the owner is mortgaging a property in new york city listed as a "rent stabilized" building, and the owner provides an assignment of rents and leases to the lender that is entirely false to the known rents and leases currently held by tenants in the building. In fact, the rent stabilization laws prevent this assignment of rents from being lawfully reached for over a century in some cases. The lender does not check the assignment of rents against the actual rents and awards the mortgage to the owner.
Is this mortgage fraud? Or is the assignment of rent agreement some arbitrarily determined sum that would satisfy the mortgage in the case of default?

Hi
If the owner provides an assignment of rents ans leases that is entirely false, it'll surely be considered as a fraud and legal actions ca be taken agianst the owner. However, as far as I'm aware of, the lender gives the owner of the property an agreement for assignment of rent which the owner has to sign, and this agreement is often included in the mortgage agreement.

Thanks Savior70, that's interesting.
It seems like a responsible lender would find out what the actual rents and leases are in the building and base the assignment of rents agreement on them. Is that true?
In the case of default, how can the lender expect to legally nullify existing leases and municipal rent stabilization laws to obtain assignment of rents agreed upon in the mortgage?
By the lender dictating the assignment of rents agreement, wouldn't that imply some law exists to enforce their collection if the owner defaults?

Hi Mr. Snoopy,
You are right in saying a responsible lender would indeed find out the actual rents and leases and base the assignment of rents accordingly. As far as I know, rent stabilization regulations are meant to help tenants by restricting the sharp rise in rents. It does not prevent the assignment of rent. The lender, thus, does not need to nullify the rent stabilization laws. When the owner signs the rent assignment agreement, he gives the lender the legal rights to collect the rents directly from the tenants, in case he defaults on the loan.

I'm new to this forum, so forgive me if my question is answered elsewhere. I have the tenants from hell living in a rental house behind me. They have a pit bull that has terrorized us for 3 years (we had to install a newer, more secure fence) and teenage children that have shot our house with pellet guns and harass us when we're in the backyard. We're filing a petition with the city about the dog and the police have advised us to file a restraining order against the family. We were relieved to learn last week that the property is in pre-foreclosure. However, there is an assignment of rents filed with the city. What happens to the tenants after the foreclosure? Will the be evicted after the property is auctioned? And this may be the wrong forum again, but do we have rights to request the mortgage company (Countryside) to evict the tenants. Thanks in advance for the response.
It is definitely the wrong forum, however you already contacted the police which is good. Continue to call the police for every small infraction.
Does an Assignment of Rents apply ONLY if a loan is in default? For instance, if money is borrowed from a private party and an Assignment of Rents is involved: 1) Can I rent out my mortgaged property; 2) Collect and keep the rent money, and/or; 3) Have the rent money applied toward the original mortgage loan ... as long as I do not default on my mortgage payment? Would the rent collected have to go to the private party as payments toward the money borrowed from them because of the Assignment of Rents? Can the private party prevent me from renting out my property?
