Maine Lease Subordination Agreement
About this form
A Lease Subordination Agreement is a legal document that establishes the hierarchy of claims on a property. It is typically used when a property owner has a mortgage and wants to enter into a lease agreement, particularly in the context of oil, gas, or mineral leases. This agreement ensures that the lease has priority over the existing mortgage or deed of trust, allowing the lessee to operate without interference from the original lender's claims. Unlike other agreements, it specifically addresses the relationship between the lease and existing liens on the property.
