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.
How can i get my ex-lanlords home address - i only have a po box for him
Hi Jeff,
I believe as a lender you first need to file a notice of default and then you can exercise your right to collect the rent. The assignment of rent clause comes into effect only when the borrower has defaulted on the loan and cannot make the mortgage payments. Thus, you will first have to prove that the borrower has defaulted on the mortgage and then, you can enforce the assignment of rent clause to collect your due mortgage payments.
Hi anonymous,
It is difficult to get the address of your ex-landlord unless you have some specific details about his current place of residence. Getting his home address with the help of a PO box number will not be very easy.

If a property is rented and the renters are paying the rent, can the mortgage holder foreclose based on a notice of default to the mortgagor. The mortgagor executed an assignment of rent.
Hi Curious,
The mortgage holder can always foreclose on the property, if the mortgagor defaults on the loan. The lender has an interest in the property and can take over the ownership of the property to satisfy the mortgage lien. If the mortgage company is executing their rights through assignment of rent and if the rental income from the property covers the monthly mortgage payments, they will probably not foreclose the property.

anonymous, you can send something to the po box and mark it "address correction requested" and that might get you a new address.
Hello,
I am the majority owner of a residential property. I lived there for many
years dating from the time of purchase. Two years ago, I moved out.
For a time the property was vacant. 6 months ago, the minority owner began
to rent out the home. At this time, there are 3 individual tenants. The minority owner allegedly made up an "Assignment of Rents" in favor of
his attorney, who is now the recipient of the rent payments.
Can I notify the tenants that I control the property and rents must be
sent to me ?
Thank you.

Hi Dann,
Since you are the majority owner of the property, the other owner should have taken your permission before assigning the rent to his lawyer. I think you have the legal right to challenge the assignment of rents agreement. You can notify the tenants that they should send you the rents as you are the main owner of the property. However, you can also contact a lawyer and challenge the assingment of rent agreement signed between the other owner and his lawyer.

absolutely, it's necessary for you to engage an attorney to work this situation out. informing the tenants will only add confusion to the mix, and it will probably rain more trouble on this endeavor than you already have.
Our deed of trust include language of assignment of Rent Lease, my question is at time deed extention do we need to extend assisgnment of rent and lease, how it is done..Please advise
Hi Tara,
The assignment of rent lease may have to be extended when the deed of trust is extended. Much depends on the terms of the deed of trust and you need to talk to the lender regarding this. if required, you can also consult an attorney when the assignment of rent is required to be extended.

Does by Laws needs to be signed. Please advise.
To Tara,
" my question is at time deed extention do we need to extend assisgnment of rent and lease…..Does by Laws needs to be signed."
Which state are you in? What exactly do you mean by "deed extension"? As Jenkin had noted much depends on the terms of the deed of trust. What do the terms regarding assignment of rent state? Have you talked to your lender about this matter?

To Tara,
Which By-Laws are you referring to? Can you provide a little more information about it? A little bit of clarification on the situation would be helpful.

I'm renting an apartment and a bank took over payments in December. I didn't completely understand why until I read your description (thanks!)
Anyways.. if the time comes when my roommate and I would like to move out.. What happens with our security desposit - would we collect from the landlord? Also, can we still not pay last months rent, since we paid that when we moved in?
Thanks
