Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  TonyTK: To me it sounds more like: the lessor assigns his rights to the lessee, and the lessee asserts the claim against the supplier with any compensation to be made to the lessor. Not saying it's logical, but that's what the "zur Leistung an" says to me.
