An assignment of property can take many different forms. If you own property you can usually sell it outright. But you could also rent it or give some other limited interest in the property. This works for both real property (land) and personal property (everything else). Giving someone a limited interest in some property is sometimes called an assignment of interest. Technically, renting property to another person is a type of assignment. The assignment may be oral or written. Depending on the form of the assignment, oral or written, the assignment may or may not be enforceable in a court of law.

Answer

In real property law an assignment is the transfer of the rights owned by the assignor prior to the assignment.

Assignment of rights typically happens when the owner grants a mortgage. In that case, all the rights of the owner are transferred to the lender as collateral for the loan. If the mortgaged property is rental property, the right to collect rents is also assigned to the lender. The original mortgagee can assign its rights to another lender. Those type of rights are extinguished when the mortgage has been paid.

An assignment or rights could occur when an owner contracts with a property manager who has the authority to stand in for the owner in such activities as managing the property, hiring sub contractors, enforcing rules and regulations or collecting rents.

A person who has a lease for real property may have the power to assign their rights under the lease to another party for the life of the lease.

What is a property number?

Sounds like the same as a street number or house number. There may or may not be a building on the property. For example if a piece of property is located at 100 North Main Street. The property number could be 100. Another possibility is a lot number. When a piece of land is first developed, the developer typically divides it into sections, then each section may be divided into blocks. Finally each block is divide into lots. So the lot may be assigned something like Section 2, Block 1, Lot 6. These make up the legal description of the property, and are recorded with the local government. These are assigned before the actual postal addresses are assigned.
