Tenancies can sometimes be passed from one tenant to another person, depending on the circumstances and your relationship:

• after a tenant has died, then a surviving spouse, partner or relative may be able to take over the tenancy and this is called “succession”; or
• while the tenant is still living, a transfer between household members is called “assignment”.

In both situations, the law is quite complicated and will depend on what sort of tenancy arrangement the tenant has, who the landlord is, when the tenancy was taken out, what the tenancy agreement says and how long the person who hopes to take over the tenancy has been living there.

Legal advice on assignment of a tenancy

In some situations, the tenant is allowed to assign the tenancy to another family member without the landlord needing to consent or agree to the assignment and the process can be dealt with by the drawing up of a deed.

In other situations, the landlord’s consent will be required. Some tenancies cannot be assigned at all, or only to a spouse or partner.

The law is complicated and expert legal advice will be required to work out if a tenancy can be assigned and to draw up the necessary documentation.

Legal advice on succession of a tenancy

If a landlord considers that there are no persons in the household who are entitled to succeed to the tenancy after the death of the tenant, they may serve a notice and then start possession proceedings for eviction.

Dealing with a bereavement of a loved one can be made even harder to cope with if you are also worried about losing your home.

Our team have extensive experience in advising bereaved family members about their rights to succeed to a relatives’ tenancy and can help at all stages including initial advice, putting the case to the landlord prior to proceedings and then representation in proceedings if necessary.

Funding the cost of legal advice

• In respect of assignment – Legal Aid is not available for advice and representation and these cases will need to be paid for privately. We are able to offer fixed fee packages for this work.
• In respect of succession rights – Legal Aid is available (subject to your means and the merits of the case) for advice and representation after a landlord has served a notice and has indicated that they intend to bring possession proceedings.

If no notice has been served, then legal aid is not available, and we will have to consider other ways of funding your case including a fixed fee package if appropriate.

What is an Assignment of Lease?

The assignment of lease is a title document that transfers all rights possessed by a lessee or tenant to a property to another party. The assignee takes the assignor’s place in the landlord-tenant relationship.

You can view an example of a lease assignment here .

How Lease Assignment Works

In cases where a tenant wants to or needs to get out of their lease before it expires, lease assignment provides a legal option to assign or transfer rights of the lease to someone else. For instance, if in a commercial lease a business leases a place for 12 months but the business moves or shuts down after 10 months, the person can transfer the lease to someone else through an assignment of the lease. In this case, they will not have to pay rent for the last two months as the new assigned tenant will be responsible for that.

However, before the original tenant can be released of any responsibilities associated with the lease, other requirements need to be satisfied. The landlord needs to consent to the lease transfer through a “License to Assign” document. It is crucial to complete this document before moving on to the assignment of lease as the landlord may refuse to approve the assignment.

Difference Between Assignment of Lease and Subletting

A transfer of the remaining interest in a lease, also known as assignment, is possible when implied rights to assign exist. Some leases do not allow assignment or sharing of possessions or property under a lease. An assignment ensures the complete transfer of the rights to the property from one tenant to another.

The assignor is no longer responsible for rent or utilities and other costs that they might have had under the lease. Here, the assignee becomes the tenant and takes over all responsibilities such as rent. However, unless the assignee is released of all liabilities by the landlord, they remain responsible if the new tenant defaults.

A sublease is a new lease agreement between the tenant (or the sublessor) and a third-party (or the sublessee) for a portion of the lease. The original lease agreement between the landlord and the sublessor (or original tenant) still remains in place. The original tenant still remains responsible for all duties set under the lease.

Here are some key differences between subletting and assigning a lease:

• Under a sublease, the original lease agreement still remains in place.
• The original tenant retains all responsibilities under a sublease agreement.
• A sublease can be for less than all of the property, such as for a room, general area, portion of the leased premises, etc.
• Subleasing can be for a portion of the lease term. For instance, a tenant can sublease the property for a month and then retain it after the third-party completes their month-long sublet.
• Since the sublease agreement is between the tenant and the third-party, rent is often negotiable, based on the term of the sublease and other circumstances.
• The third-party in a sublease agreement does not have a direct relationship with the landlord.
• The subtenant will need to seek consent of both the tenant and the landlord to make any repairs or changes to the property during their sublease.

Here is more on an assignment of lease here .

Parties Involved in Lease Assignment

There are three parties involved in a lease assignment – the landlord or owner of the property, the assignor and the assignee. The original lease agreement is between the landlord and the tenant, or the assignor. The lease agreement outlines the duties and responsibilities of both parties when it comes to renting the property. Now, when the tenant decides to assign the lease to a third-party, the third-party is known as the assignee. The assignee takes on the responsibilities laid under the original lease agreement between the assignor and the landlord. The landlord must consent to the assignment of the lease prior to the assignment.

For example, Jake is renting a commercial property for his business from Paul for two years beginning January 2013 up until January 2015. In January 2014, Jake suffers a financial crisis and has to close down his business to move to a different city. Jake doesn’t want to continue paying rent on the property as he will not be using it for a year left of the lease. Jake’s friend, John would soon be turning his digital business into a brick-and-mortar store. John has been looking for a space to kick start his venture. Jake can assign his space for the rest of the lease term to John through an assignment of lease. Jake will need to seek the approval of his landlord and then begin the assignment process. Here, Jake will be the assignor who transfers all his lease related duties and responsibilities to John, who will be the assignee.

Assignment of Lease From Seller to Buyer

In case of a residential property, a landlord can assign his leases to the new buyer of the building. The landlord will assign the right to collect rent to the buyer. This will allow the buyer to collect any and all rent from existing tenants in that property. This assignment can also include the assignment of security deposits, if the parties agree to it. This type of assignment provides protection to the buyer so they can collect rent on the property.

The assignment of a lease from the seller to a buyer also requires that all tenants are made aware of the sale of the property. The buyer-seller should give proper notice to the tenants along with a notice of assignment of lease signed by both the buyer and the seller. Tenants should also be informed about the contact information of the new landlord and the payment methods to be used to pay rent to the new landlord.

Navigating the assignment of a residential lease

A landlord can assign his leases to a new buyer of his building. Likewise, a tenant may be able to assign his lease if he needs to relocate. Find out how to assign your lease and what you can do to protect yourself when doing so.

updated September 1, 2023 · 3min read

Assignment of lease by the tenant

Assignment of lease vs. sublease, assignment of lease by the landlord.

As a tenant, you may want to get out of your residential lease without paying the remaining rent. Likewise, if you're a landlord and sell your rental property, the buyer must now collect rent from the tenants, who may have no idea you sold the property. In both situations, assignment of a lease with a release for the tenant and assignment of leases with notice by the landlord accomplish these goals.

If you're the tenant and want to leave before the end of your lease term, you may be able to assign your lease to a third party if the landlord doesn't let you out of the lease. The third party then becomes the new tenant, who is bound by the terms of the original lease and pays rent to the landlord.

Most often, the lease won't permit assignment without the landlord's approval, but leases often state that the landlord cannot unreasonably withhold consent. As long as you produce a tenant who's shown a history of payment under prior leases and has been a model tenant, a landlord should consent to assignment.

The assignment of lease form should include places for the tenant-assignor, the new tenant-assignee, and the landlord to sign. If the master lease allows assignment, then the tenant doesn't need the landlord's permission; the tenant can sign an assignment of lease agreement without the landlord's signature.

If the landlord allows an assignment of the lease, you, as the tenant, also want him to sign a release stating that you're not responsible for the new tenant's failure to pay or for any damage she causes. Without such a release, you may still be liable for both.

When you, as the tenant, assign the lease, you sign an agreement that either reads “Assignment of Lease," “Lease Assumption Agreement," or “Assignment and Assumption Agreement." An assumption of the lease means that the new tenant assumes your obligations, such as paying rent and keeping the apartment in good condition.

An assignment of a lease transfers the tenant's entire rights in the property to a third party. With a sublease, on the other hand, the tenant transfers only a portion of the remaining lease. For example, if the original tenant has six months remaining on his lease and he gives the entire six months to a third party, the tenant is permanently assigning his rights to live on the property to the third party. If, however, the tenant allows that third party to stay at the premises for only three months, and the tenant intends to return after three months, he is subleasing the premises.

A landlord can assign the right to collect rent to someone who has purchased the property. An assignment of lease from the seller to the buyer allows the new landlord to collect rent from any and all current tenants in the building. The language in the landlord's assignment of lease agreement can include assignment of security deposits, if the parties agree to it. An assignment of leases by the landlord to the buyer affords protection to the buyer so he can collect rent.

An assignment of leases by the landlord to the buyer is meaningless if tenants aren't aware the landlord sold the property, which is why it's important for the assignor-landlord to give tenants proper notice. A notice of assignment of lease, which is a form signed by both the assignor-landlord and the assignee, or new landlord, is one way to give notice. Another way is to send a letter on the landlord's letterhead. Either way, the notice must include the new landlord's address and how rent is to be paid.

Both landlords and tenants who become assignors should sign a formal assignment of lease agreement, which an online service provider can prepare for you. If you're the tenant who has assigned your lease, try to get a release or you'll still be liable to the landlord. If you're the landlord, make sure you can count on the new tenant to pay the rent before you release the primary tenant from his obligations under the lease.

How to Use Application Roles in SAP Build Apps: A Workaround Solution

Introduction:.

In this blog post, we will explore a workaround solution for using application roles in SAP Build Apps which is not supported so far. We will see an example of implementation that adapts UI components of a Web App based on the user role, thereby avoiding the need to create a separate Web App for each user role in SAP Build Apps.

Requirements:

In a previous post , we created a simple web app with SAP Build Apps, which connects to a REST API via a destination in the Business Technology Platform (BTP) to read and display records. The connected user can only see their data. However, our backend service supports two roles: a normal user that can only get their records, and an admin user that can retrieve records of all users.

Our goal now is to adjust the web app so that an admin user can choose to view all records. The web app should verify if the connected user has the application admin role and display the appropriate UI components accordingly.

Implementation in SAP Build Apps:

We assume that we will be having two roles: Administrator and User. Here’s how we adjusted the UI in SAP Build Apps:

• Add a new data endpoint: Currently, we have one data endpoint called “myReturns” that returns only the connected user records. To get all users’ records, we should query a different endpoint called “allReturns” . We then add it in the Data tab the same way we’ve done with “myReturns” . We also add the corresponding data variable in the records list page to use it in that view.

Adding new REST API Integration in SAP Build Apps

• Add UI components for the admin user: In our case, we added a switch button in the returnable list screen. This button should only appear for the admin user, and if switched on, the list should refresh with the records of all users.

Adjust UI component visibility based on user roles

Based on the value of “seeAll” variable, it will be bound to either the “myReturn” or the “AllReturn” data collection.

• Build and deploy the app: With these steps, the application should be ready to go!

Adding Roles to the Application UAA Instance

The deployment will create a UAA (Authorization and Trust Management service) instance that handles user authorizations for the web app. The created instance does not contain any scope or role, so we’ll need to enhance it.

We’ve created an “xs-security.json” file in which we could define the scopes and roles for our UI app. For example, we defined two scopes: `Administrator` and `User`, and two corresponding role templates: `myPackAdmin` and `myPackUser`.

For your case, you can use the same file content and customize scopes and roles according to your requirements. Simply replace the xsappname property with your app name. To locate the app name in the BTP cockpit after deployment, navigate to instances and subscriptions. Look for instances starting with appgyver-web-app-xx-uaa, and copy the name excluding the -uaa suffix.

Locate the created uaa instance for the web application

To update the existing “appgyver-web-app-xx-uaa” instance with our new configuration, we use the following command line in the terminal:

cf update-service appgyver-web-app-22991-uaa -p application -c xs-security.json.

For your application, you need to replace “appgyver-web-app-xx-uaa” with your UAA instance name and provide the correct directory path where you have created the xs-security.json file.

Cloud Foundry CLI must be installed to execute the command line.

Assigning Roles to Users

To see the switch button, the admin role must be assigned to your user. To do this, we created a role collection and did assign it to the desired user from the subaccount in the BTP cockpit.

You can find the new roles under Security > Roles. We created a new role collection, such as “myPackAdmin,” and included both the backend admin role and the new UI admin role. we assigned this role collection to the user.

New Role Collection creation from the SAP BTP Cockpit

Now, when you log in as an admin, you should see the switch button. You can switch it on to see all user records. You may need to logout and login again or test in a different browser so that the new role assignment is considered.

Remember, in preview mode, your user won’t have the roles, so it will only work on the deployed version of the web app

Switch button appear for the connected admin user

And there you have it! A simple workaround to deal with different user roles in your SAP Build Apps until the feature becomes natively available. Hope you find this solution helpful in avoiding duplications in UI creation.

That is a really nice blog 👏 I'm going to try this out.

Check how we used a cap service to check roles in SAP Build Apps, and actually used the roles for the database to also protect the data itself: https://developers.sap.com/group.build-apps-cap.html

I believe there is a roadmap item to make this simpler: https://roadmaps.sap.com/board?PRODUCT=73554900100800004334&range=CURRENT-LAST#;INNO=C1FBB5A935A51EDDA7CE79AA5AB99A26
