FAQ
Subordination is the tenant's agreement that its interest under the lease will be subordinate to that of the lender.Attornment is the tenant's agreement to become the tenant of someone other than the original landlord and who has now taken title to the property.
A subordination agreement acknowledges that one party's claim or interest is superior to that of another party in the event that the borrower's assets must be liquidated to repay the debts.
A subordination fee is a fee directly related to the credit transaction. There is no comparable cash transaction to compare it to and a subordination is not a required document to perfect your lien. It's only required to perfect your lien in the position that you required as a condition of making the loan.
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.
Subordination agreements are prepared by your lender. The process occurs internally if you only have one lender. When your mortgage and home equity line or loan have different lenders, both financial institutions work together to draft the necessary paperwork.

A nondisturbance clause is a provision in a mortgage contract that ensures that a rental agreement between the tenant and the landlord will continue under any circumstances.A nondisturbance clause ensures that a tenant will not be evicted in the event that the landlord goes bankrupt.
