Investopedia explains 'Release Clause'

A release clause gives the owner the privilege of paying off a portion of the mortgage debt in order to free a portion of the property from the mortgage. A release clause enables a property owner to own free and clear a portion of the mortgaged property. This would allow the owner to sell off part of the property, as with a developer who wishes to subdivide the land that is financed with a mortgage.
