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 SB!
Welcome to forums!
As far as I can understand, you will have to contact your landlord and collect the security deposit from him. As per the agreement with your landlord, you're bound to pay the rent. So, in my opinion, you should keep on making the payment to the lender as per your agreement.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

i have a small commercial property that is debt free. i posted it for trade on a real estate website called ree.com. i got a very good offer to exchange my property for 3 single family homes. each home has a small mortgage with chase and the other party says we can do a "wraparound" where he stays on the debt. if i do this trade, is it possible that chase can call the loans and i'll be forced to refinance to save the houses?
We want to understand the difference between assignment of lease rent and hypothecation of lease rent to safe guard lendor's interest
in Pennsylvania and California?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Hi Shashank,
I won't be able to let you know about the hypothecation of lease rent as I haven't heard about it before. However, assignment of lease occurs when an original tenant to a lease agreement, transfers his or her entire unexpired remainder of the lease term to a new tenant.
Hi awatkins,
As Pennsylvania and California are two different states, there can be differences between the two regarding Assignment of Rents, Issues and Profits.

i am a fifty perecent partner with my brother over commercial property. i have found out he went to a bank a secured an assisgnment of rental lease agreement to obtain a 225,000 loan against his percentage. our property is in litigation with our attorneys and the property has no lease. how could he obtain this loan without having the consent of myself his partner, he is not managing member? any suggestions my attorneys on vacation but know this can''t look good for him thanks you
Hi Guest,
If both of you are the owners of the property, then your brother should have informed you before taking the loan. But again, he has secured an assignment of rental lease agreement to obtain a 225,000 loan against his percentage. In that case, he doesn't need to inform you.

I have a judgement subsequent to a loan with assignments of rents. The borrower has defaulted and I am trying to collect rents. The tenant claims the rent is $300 instead of the $1200 that was in effect when the loan was made. Since my security is a Second Deed of Trust, I would have to pay off the 1st which is upside down. How do I prove what rent is being paid?
Rent is paid in cash.
