New Jersey Lease Subordination Agreement
What is this form?
A Lease Subordination Agreement is a legal document that establishes the priority of various liens or claims against a property, specifically in relation to mineral, oil, or gas leases. This agreement allows a lienholder, who has a mortgage or deed of trust, to subordinate their rights to those of a lessee holding a lease on the same property. This is essential when a property owner wishes to secure additional financing while ensuring that the lease remains effective and free from the original mortgage's encumbrances.
Main sections of this form
- Identification of the parties involved: lessor, lienholder, and lessee.
- Details of the mortgage or deed of trust, including dates, volumes, and pages for legal references.
- Specification of the leased property and its description.
- Terms under which the lien is subordinated to the lease.
- Conditions under which the lienholder retains rights against the lessorâs royalty interests.

Despite its technical-sounding name, the subordination agreement has one simple purpose. It assigns your new mortgage to first lien position, making it possible to refinance with a home equity loan or line of credit. Signing your agreement is a positive step forward in your refinancing journey.
But as property values are going up and the demand for refinance isn't as much, it seems that the subordination process has gotten a little easier. Typically, it takes two to three weeks to get the resubordination paperwork through, and it is likely to set you back $200 to $300.
