Because of the differences in the legal relationships created by an assignment of lease on one hand, and a sublease on the other, the distinction between the two must be carefully noted.... When the tenant assigns the lease to a third party, the assignee becomes the tenant of the landlord with resulting privity of estate between the two.... Thus, in the case of an assignment, covenants which touch and concern the land are enforceable between the assignee and the landlord. A sublease creates no direct relationship between the subtenant and the landlord.(Anger & Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, p. 259)

OBS

En droit civil, la notion juridique qui se rapproche le plus de celle de la common law est la «cession de biens»; le résultat en est le même, mais la façon de procéder diffère. Dans la cession de biens, le débiteur traite directement avec ses créanciers alors que en common law, le débiteur fait intervenir un mandataire entre lui et ses créanciers.
