§ 321-a. Recording discharge of rent assignment. An assignment of rent

to accrue from real property, heretofore recorded, or hereafter recorded

pursuant to section two hundred ninety-four-a of this chapter, must be

discharged upon the record thereof, by the recording officer, upon

presentation to him of a certificate signed by the assignee, or by his

personal representative or his assignee, and acknowledged or proved and

certified in like manner to entitle a conveyance to be recorded,

specifying that the obligation secured by the assignment of rent has

been satisfied or discharged, or that the assignment of rent is

canceled. When so signed and acknowledged or proved and certified, such

certificate may be recorded, and such certificate, the record thereof,

and a certified copy of such record may be introduced in evidence in all

courts of this state. The certificate of discharge, and the certificates

of its acknowledgment or proof, must be recorded and filed; and a

reference must be made to the book and page containing such record in

the minute of the discharge of such assignment of rent, made by the

officer upon the record thereof. After such discharge has been recorded

the recording officer shall make and deliver to the person in whose

interest such discharge of assignment of rent is executed and recorded,

his certificate setting forth the names of the assignor and assignee,

the liber and page at which, the time when such assignment of rent was

recorded, and the date on which said assignment of rent was satisfied

and discharged.
