Assignment of leases and rents: absolutely collateral.

[caption id="attachment_25168" align="aligncenter" width="616"]

Jeffrey B. Steiner[/caption] Generally speaking, rents comprise the principal income derived from commercial real property ownership prior to the sale of the property. In traditional, non-recourse lending, where the special purpose entity borrower may become insolvent, lenders rely on the rent and related income from the property as security for the loan. One mechanism employed by commercial mortgage lenders to secure their interest in the rental stream is to require in the mortgage document an assignment of leases and rents pursuant to which the borrower ‘presently and absolutely’ assigns to the lender the rents from the real property. In turn, the lender grants the borrower a license, revocable upon an event of default, to collect and use the rents. Lenders have elected to include the language purporting to affect a “present” and “absolute” transfer with the hope of achieving the benefits of an “absolute” assignment of the rents over a “collateral” assignment. If the assignment is deemed to be an “absolute” transfer of legal title of the rents from the borrower to the lender, then such assignment would become enforceable immediately upon an event of default and revocation of borrower’s license to collect and use the rents—meaning, that the lender would have the right and ability to collect the rents directly from the tenants as soon as an event of default has occurred. By contrast, if the assignment is considered “collateral,” the lender runs the risk that, following an event of default and a resulting borrower bankruptcy, the rents will be deemed property of the bankruptcy estate, subject to a bankruptcy plan and protected by the Bankruptcy Code’s automatic stay. Case Law New York case law surrounding the treatment of assignments of leases and rents, whether by “absolute” or “collateral” assignment nominally suggests that judges will give effect to the intended purpose of these assignments, ignoring such “absolute” assignment language and interpreting the assignment as a “collateral” one for the mortgage loan. For this reason, a majority of New York state courts have ruled that lenders cannot create an absolute assignment of leases and rents in a mortgage transaction regardless of the language used. In Dream Team Assocs. v. Broadway City , 2003 N.Y. Slip Op 50894U, 2003 WL 21203342 (N.Y.Civ.Ct. May 7, 2003), for instance, the court addressed the question of whether an assignment of rents constitutes an absolute assignment and ruled that “[u]nder New York law…the language used in the assignment instrument itself is not determinative of what rights are actually transferred.” Relying on the fact that New York is a “lien theory” state rather than a “title theory” state, state courts typically hold that an assignment of leases and rents, regardless of the wording of the provision or form taken, will not be a present assignment when given as security for the loan. It follows then that, if assignments of rents do not serve to transfer immediate title to the rents, they instead transfer equitable title and constitute a pledge of the rents to which the lender cannot become entitled until taking some extra, affirmative enforcement steps. In In re Soho 25 Retail , No. ADV. 11-1286-SHL, 2011 WL 1333084, at *6–8 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. March 31, 2011), the court sought to summarize certain potential steps to enforcement as follows: “requesting the appointment of a receiver to collect the rents, demanding or taking possession [of the property], commencing foreclosure proceedings, or seeking an order for the sequestration of rents.” These additional, affirmative steps do not seem onerous at first glance. However, as any mortgage lender will attest, the foreclosure process in New York State is slow. Furthermore, mortgage lenders are properly advised to avoid the exercise of any such rights prior to an appointment of a receiver or the consummation of foreclosure for fear of being found to be a mortgagee in possession, which could cause lenders to be deemed to have assumed all of the same duties and liabilities of the owner of the property. The rule was recently restated by the court in Allen v. Echeverria , 11 N.Y.S.3d 170, 173 (N.Y. App. Div. 2015), that is, a mortgagee who takes possession of the property mortgaged as collateral is “bound to employ the same care and supervision over the mortgaged premises that a reasonably prudent owner would exercise in relation to his own property; he is bound to make reasonable and needed repairs, and is responsible for any loss or damage occasioned by his willful default or gross neglect in this regard.” Most commercial mortgage lenders are not in the business of managing properties and do not want to be subject to the liability that could arise during such management, especially when the title to the property remains vested in an adverse party, i.e., its defaulted borrower. In light of the bankruptcy risks and the potential that an assignment of rents will not be deemed an absolute assignment, vigilant lenders will avail themselves of alternative mechanisms to exert control over the rents, namely, (i) cash management arrangements and (ii) guaranties that provide for liability in the event of a misappropriation of the rents. Through “lockbox” arrangements between the lender, the borrower and third-party banks, lenders will control the rents deposited by tenants directly into such lender-controlled clearing accounts. The rents will then be distributed according to the terms agreed upon by the parties at closing or otherwise at the direction of the lender in order to pay debt service and to accumulate reserves for the payment of property taxes and insurance. Borrowers will typically have no right to access these funds and, in all cases following an event of default, the banks will be prohibited from following any instructions received from borrowers. For loans in which lenders perceive greater risk, they can structure cash management to exercise greater control of the rents and to make less funds available to the borrower, decreasing the risk that rents will be misused. Additionally, loan documents always provide that, during an event of default, the rents deposited into the cash management accounts will be deemed to be additional collateral for the loan and may be applied by the lender to pay down the debt in lender’s sole discretion. Lenders may also protect against the misuse of rents by including a carve-out to the non-recourse nature of the mortgage loan in a guaranty executed by a borrower-affiliated person or entity. In such a guaranty, the guarantor will be liable to the lender to the extent of any loss suffered by the lender due to the misapplication or misappropriation of rents by the borrower or its affiliates.

Mortgage lenders should not rely on assignments of leases and rents, whether as a clause in the mortgage or as a separate agreement, to protect their interests in the income from their collateral prior to the appointment of a receiver or the final sale of the property at foreclosure. The enforcement of these agreements may take considerable time and money before the lender even gains a legal right to collect rents. Lenders should account for these risks by taking other legal measures which grant them greater control and actually give them enforceable rights immediately upon default. Jeffrey B. Steiner is a member of DLA Piper. Shane Goodhue, a law clerk (assoc.) at the firm, assisted in the preparation of this article.

Assignment of Rents – What, Why, and How?

Assignment of Rents – What, Why, and How

Article by:

Madelaine prescott, esq., share this post:.

  • November 29, 2023

These days, almost all commercial loans include an Assignment of Rents as part of the Deed of Trust or Mortgage. But what is an Assignment of Rents, why is this such an important tool, and how are they enforced?

An Assignment of Rents (“AOR”) is used to grant the lender on a transaction a security interest in existing and future leases, rents, issues, or profits generated by the secured property, including cash proceeds, in the event a borrower defaults on their loan. The lender can use the AOR to step in and directly collect rental payments made by the tenant. For an AOR to be effective, the lender’s interest must be perfected, which has a few fairly simple requirements. The AOR must be in writing, executed by the borrower, and recorded with the county where the property is located. Including an AOR in the recorded Deed of Trust or Mortgage is the easiest and most common way to ensure the AOR meets these requirements should it ever need to be utilized.

When a borrower defaults, lenders can take advantage of AORs as an alternative to foreclosure to recoup their investment. With a shorter timeline and significantly lower costs, it is certainly an attractive option for lenders looking to get defaulted borrowers back on track with payments, without the potential of having to take back a property and attempting to either manage it or sell it in hopes of getting your money back out of the property. AORs can be a quick and easy way for the lender to get profits generated by the property with the goal of bringing the borrower out of default. But lenders should carefully monitor how much is owed versus how much has been collected. If the AOR generates enough funds so that the borrower is no longer in default, the lender must stop collecting rents generated by the property.

Enforcement of an AOR can also incentivize borrowers to work with the lender to formulate a plan, as many borrowers rely on rental income to cover expenses related to the property or their businesses. Borrowers are generally more willing to come to the table and negotiate a mutual, amicable resolution with the lender in order to protect their own investment. A word of warning to lenders though: since rental income is frequently used to pay expenses on the property, such as the property manager, maintenance, taxes, and other expenses, the lender needs to ensure they do not unintentionally hurt the value of the property by letting these important expenses fall behind. This may hurt the lender’s investment as well, as the property value could suffer, liens could be placed on the property, or the property may fall into disrepair if not properly maintained. It is also important for lenders to be aware of the statutes surrounding the payment of these expenses when an AOR is being used, as some state’s statutes require the lender to pay certain property expenses out of the collected rents if requested by the borrower.

In addition to being shorter and cheaper than foreclosure, AORs can be much easier to enforce. In California, the enforcement of an AOR is governed by California Civil Code §2938. This statute specifies enforcement methods lenders can use and restrictions on use of these funds by the lender, among other things. Under CA Civil Code §2938(c), there are 4 ways to enforce an AOR:

  • The appointment of a receiver;
  • Obtaining possession of the rents, issues, profits;
  • Delivery to tenant of a written demand for turnover of rents, issues, and profits in the correct form; or
  • Delivery to assignor of a written demand for the rents, issues, or profits.

One or more of these methods can be used to enforce an AOR. First, a receiver can be appointed by the court, and granted specific powers related to the AOR such as managing the property and collecting rents. They can have additional powers though; it just depends on what the court orders. This is not the simplest or easiest option as it requires court involvement, but this is used to enforce an AOR, especially when borrowers or tenants are uncooperative. Next is obtaining possession of the rents, issues, profits, which is exactly as it seems; lenders can simply obtain actual possession of these and apply the funds to the loan under their AOR.

The third and fourth options each require delivery of a written demand to certain parties, directing them to pay rent to the lender instead of to the landlord. Once the demand is made, the tenant pays their rent directly to the lender, who then applies the funds to the defaulted loan. These are both great pre-litigation options, with advantages over the first two enforcement methods since actual possession can be difficult to obtain and courts move slowly with high costs to litigate. The written demands require a specific form to follow called the “Demand To Pay Rent to Party Other Than Landlord”, as found at CA Civil Code §2938(k). There are other notice requirements to be followed here, so it is essential to consult with an experienced attorney if you are considering either of these options. California Civil Code §2938 specifically provides that none of the four enforcement methods violate California’s One Action Rule nor the Anti-Deficiency Rule, so lenders can confidently enforce their AORs using the above methods with peace of mind that they are not violating other California laws.

Whether you are looking to originate a new loan, or you are facing a default by your borrower, understanding what an Assignment of Rents is and how it operates can be extremely beneficial. Enforcing an AOR can be an easier option than foreclosure and can help promote a good relationship with your borrower when handled correctly. If you have any questions about AORs, or need further details on how to enforce them, Geraci is here to help.

Assignment of Rents & Leases

Assignment of rents and leases in business and real estate transactions.

An “Assignment of Rents and Leases” is a crucial legal instrument that significantly impacts commercial and residential real estate, and mergers and acquisitions of real estate. Having a properly drafted and executed assignment means the rights and assets that are transferred give the new party (the assignee) the right to receive payments.

What is an assignment of rents and leases?

An assignment of rents and leases is a legal agreement in which the individual or company entitled to receive payments transfers that right to another party. Most often, this occurs (1) when a property owner hires a property manager, or (2) in acquisitions, such as a property management company selling their accounts to another property management company or a commercial landlord selling their portfolio to a buyer.

How is an assignment of rents and leases used?

This arrangement is often utilized in business sales, account sales, financing, and investment transactions as a means of securing debt or protecting the interests of the lender or property owner.

In the financing context, an assignment often grants the lender or assignee the authority to collect and apply the rents from the property should the borrower default on their loan; this is important when the borrower collateralizes real estate in order to receive the loan. In a property management context, an assignment often serves to effectively transfer management rights to the new company.

An assignment of rents and leases is probably most commonly used in a commercial real estate context when there is a sale of a commercial property, or in the residential real estate context when there is a change in property managers.

What terms should be included in an assignment of rents and leases?

Certain components should be included in a proper assignment. Here are a few of the foundational terms for an assignment of rents and leases:

  • Parties. All parties should be clearly identified and defined. This can include the borrower, lender, assignee, assignor, successor, etc.
  • Property description. The real estate parcel(s) involved in the assignment should be described by legal description, street address, and more.
  • Lease terms, rents, and disclosures. The actual lease agreements that are being transferred to the new landlord, property manager, lender, etc. should be provided to the assignor/successor, along with an easy-to-read schedule of rents and other crucial details per parcel or premises.
  • Rights and obligations. Each party should have their rules, permissions, and contractual rights and obligations outlined in the assignment language. The rights and obligations of each stakeholder will be widely varied based on the needs and financial position of each party, the existing leases being assigned, and the specifics of the subject properties.
