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.
A guy from the bank came by and said we should begin paying rent to him instead of to the property owner because the bank was exercising its right to assignment of rents. My question: Is there any judicial action needed for them to exercise this right? The Deed of Trust says they can exercise the right if there is a default. But does a court have to rule that there is actually a default, or can the bank just declare that there is a default?
Also, the Deed of Trust has language to the effect that if a tenant (me) pays rent to the bank, he is protected from a claim by the property owner of duplicate payment even if it turns out that the bank had no legitimate grounds to exercise its right to assignment of rents. Am I protected by this language?
Thank you.

Hi Guest,
I don't think any judicial action is needed for the lender to exercise its right to assignment of rent. When the owner of the property signed on the mortgage closing documents, he signed on the assignment of rent clause and gave the lender the right to collect rent in case of a default. Thus, if there has been a default the lender will have the right to exercise the assignment of rent clause. Moreover, if the owner has been making the payments on time, why would the lender want to exercise this clause?
I believe you are protected from a claim of duplicate payment. However, there's no alternative to a consultation with a lawyer in this regard. You should also ask the lender to provide adequate evidence in support of their right to collect the rent, before making payment to them.

What are the consequences if an 'ASSIGNMENT OF RENT AGREEMENT" is in force ( signed and filed almost concurrent with mortgage) and the landlord collects rents and does not pay mortgage with the money, uses the money to pay off personal property and then files bankruptcy. This occurred prior to and after notice of default

Can assignment of rents language within a recorded Deed of Trust serve as an Assignment of Rents form?
Is an Assignment of Rents tied to a specific Deed of Trust or is it good for more than one DOT on the same property?
To Guest,
It depends on your lender. They can include the assignment of rent clause within the deed of trust agreement. The lender can also ask the borrower to sign a separate agreement whereby the lender would be assigned the right to collect rent on behalf of the borrower, in case of a default.
To KS,
I believe the assignment of rent is tied to a specific deed of trust. It cannot be applied to all the loans secured by the same property. Thus, if you have two different mortgages on the same property, you need to sign two different assignment of rent agreement for the two mortgages. However, you generally need to sign only one such agreement, that too with the first lien holder, to assign the rents. But not all the lenders require you to sign the assignment of rent agreement.

Why would a bank want an assignment of rents on a church building mortgage? We don't rent out the building. Thanks in advance for any explaination.
Hi,
It is strange that the lender wants an assignment of rebts on a church building. The lender probably thinks that the church could be rented out in future. This is why they want to make sure that they have the right to collect the rents in case the mortgage is not paid off. This seems to be the only possible explanation to me.

Who is responsible to correct an error made to a recorded warranty deed? The attorney that drafted the original deed? The title insurance company? The owner of the property?
Hi,
It is hard to say who is responsible for the error in the warranty deed unless I know what type of error occurred. But you should now focus on what could be done to rectify the error. If required, you will have to re-record the deed.

Do I as the lender need to file and record a Notice of Default prior to exercising my right to collect (assign) the rent?
