What does assigning mean?

Assigning means transferring your tenancy to someone else, a new tenant, who is called the assignee.

After the transfer, you do not have the right to move back in. And you are not responsible if the new tenant causes damage or owes rent. The rent and the terms stay the same.

Assigning can be a way to get out of a lease. Read more at stepstojustice.ca/rent-agree.
