On the
assignment tenant
You hand over all your
rights, including the right to maintain occupancy,
to the assignee. You are freed from all obligations as of the
date of the
assignment. Therefore, you do not have to send a notice of non-renewal
of the lease.
On the
assignee
The assignee is not a new
tenant in the eyes of the law. Therefore, he does
not have the right to ask the Régie to set the rent. However,
on becoming a
tenant, he acquires all the rights and obligations of the lease.
As he is bound
by all of the conditions of the assigned lease he should obtain
a copy of it
from the assigning tenant.
On the
landlord
Once the assignment takes
effect, the landlord is bound to the assignee. It is
to the assignee that all notices concerning the lease must be
given and from
him that the rent must be collected. The landlord does not
sign a new lease
with the assignee.
The assignee takes the
dwelling in the condition in which he finds it or that it
was in when he visited it.
