But you sign an Assignment of Agreement contract with the assignee (tenant/buyer) and the landlord/seller which states that the assignee assumes all rights, privileges and obligations under the lease and option contracts which are attached for reference, and that the landlord/seller accepts the assignee in place of assignor (you) and releases the assignor from all obligations under the attached agreements.It's very important to include that line and have the seller sign the Assignment, otherwise you are still liable to the obligations even though you've assigned the privileges away.You can't have your name removed from the contracts.
