FAQ
The subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (commonly abbreviated as an SNDA agreement) is the document that the landlord, tenant and lender often employ to resolve how their rights do and will intersect.
The use clause in a lease tells you how you can utilize your space. It may restrict your lines of business, stipulate office hours that you must adhere to and place restrictions on advertising signage on the premises.
An SNDA is an agreement entered into between a tenant and the lender of the landlord (and, ideally, the landlord) to establish the relationship between the tenant and lender (who would not otherwise have a direct relationship) and provide relative priorities between them.
An SNDA is enforceable between the parties signing it (lender, landlord, and tenant) whether or not it is recorded. However, a recorded SNDA provides greater protection because it puts third-party buyers at a foreclosure sale on notice that the tenant's lease cannot be terminated by means of a foreclosure.
In a lease subordination clause, the tenant is agreeing to allow his/her interest to be subordinated to the lender's. A sample subordination agreement is commonly requested of new tenants.The attornment agreement has the tenant agree to continue lease obligations to a new landlord in the event of a foreclosure.
A lender typically wants to have an SNDA because of its subordination clause if, in the absence of such an agreement, the lease would be prior to the mortgage.Therefore, if a mortgage is senior to a lease, the foreclosure of the mortgage will terminate the lease unless there is an agreement that provides otherwise.
In the case of commercial property changing hands, an attornment clause in a subordination, non-disturbance, and attornment (SNDA) agreement requires the tenant to acknowledge a new owner as their landlord and to continue paying rent regardless of whether the property changes hands through a normal sale or a
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. This is done primarily to protect the renter from eviction by the mortgagor if the property is foreclosed upon by the lender.
Attornment in a commercial lease is similar. The attornment clause in an SNDA obligates the tenant to recognize the new owner of the property as its landlord regardless of whether the new owner acquired the property through a normal sale or a foreclosure.
