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 Lissa!
Welcome to forums!
It is the lender who will come up with the price of the rent. The rent amount will be something similar to that charged in the present market. If you go for rent to lease agreement, then the rent will be applied to your purchase price as far as I know. You can even contact a real estate attorney and he will explain this in details to you.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

What about the sales tax that would have been collected and paid from the collection of rent if an assignment of rent agreement is implemented?
Hi aakinsmith,
You query is unclear. Please post your query in details. In what respect are you speaking about the sales tax?

How do you get an assignment of rent taken off your property once the loan is paid off
Hi Lynn,
As far as I know, once the debt is fully paid off, the assignment of rent will automatically become null and void.
Thanks

Hi Bossman!
Welcome to the forums!
I don't think the bank is obligated to honor the conditions of the lease agreement.
