Rawls v. Moye

Opinion of the Court

.Lumpkin, Justice.

Under tbe facts recited, the assignee took nothing except the tenant’s obligation to pay rent. An express assignment was indispensably necessary to pass the landlord’s lien for supplies, provided- for in the contract. The mere transfer •of “the within rent note” was not an assignment of any lien. See Lathrop & Co. v. Clewis, 63 Ga. 282.
