SB3810 Summary: Uniform Assignment of Rents Act

• Establishes a uniform legal framework governing the assignment of rental income from real property as security for obligations, defining key terms including assignee, assignor, rents, and security interests.

• Permits security instruments to automatically create assignments of rents from described real property unless stated otherwise, with such assignments creating a presently effective security interest in all accrued and unaccrued rents.

• Allows recordation of rent assignment documents in county clerk/recorder offices with the same procedures as other real property conveyances; upon recording, the security interest is fully perfected regardless of any conditions on enforcement.

• Establishes three enforcement methods for assignees: appointment of a receiver by court order, notification demanding payment to the assignor, or notification to tenants directing rent payment to the assignee instead of the landlord.

• Provides tenant protections including a 30-day grace period before default for rent payments due within 30 days of receiving an assignment notification, and restricts enforcement against owner-occupied residential properties.

• Specifies application of collected rents: first to assignee's enforcement expenses and attorney fees, then property maintenance costs, then the secured obligation, then subordinate liens, and finally to the assignor.
