Subordination of lease

The "Subordination of Lease" clause establishes that the tenant's lease is subordinate to the liens of any current or future mortgages on the property, giving the mortgage lender's rights priority over the tenant's rights. This means that if the property is foreclosed, the lease may be terminated unless the lender agrees otherwise.

    SUBORDINATION OF LEASE TO MORTGAGES: This Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of existing mortgages and of mortgages which hereafter may be made a lien on the Premises; provided, however, that with regard to any pledge or mortgage executed by the Landlord, Landlord shall use its best efforts to provide to the Tenant a non-disturbance agreement from any mortgagee or other lien holder of Landlord’s interest in the Premises. Such non-disturbance agreement shall be in form and content reasonably acceptable to Tenant and Landlord’s mortgagee or other lien holder, together with a representation that the Landlord is not in default of any of the terms of any such mortgage or security agreement as of the date thereof. Although no instrument or act on the part of the Tenant shall be necessary to effectuate such subordination, the Tenant will nevertheless execute and deliver such further instruments subordinating this Lease to the lien of any such mortgages as may be desired by the mortgagee. The Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints the Landlord as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver such instrument for the Tenant. Provided, however, and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions hereof, upon foreclosure of the mortgage with the mortgagee succeeding to the rights of the Landlord, the Tenant shall, at the option of said mortgagee, be bound to the mortgagee under all of the terms of the Lease for the balance of the term hereof remaining with the same force and effect as if the mortgagee were the Landlord under the Lease, and the Tenant hereby attorns to the mortgagee as its Landlord, such attornment to be effective and self-operative if the mortgagee so elects. In no event, however, shall the mortgagee be liable for any act or omission of any prior Landlord, be subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior Landlord, or be bound by any rent or additional rent which the Tenant might have paid to any prior Landlord for more than the current month.

What is Subordination of Lease?

Subordination of a lease refers to an agreement in which a tenant’s leasehold interest is made secondary to the interest of a lender who holds a mortgage on the property. In simpler terms, it means that the tenant agrees that the lender’s rights under the mortgage will take precedence over the tenant’s rights under the lease if the property is foreclosed upon.

When Should I Use Subordination of Lease?

You should consider using a Subordination of Lease in the following situations:

  • When a property owner is obtaining financing or refinancing and the lender requires it.
  • When a lease is being signed for a commercial property and the tenant needs assurance that their lease will remain valid in case of foreclosure.
  • When renewing a lease and there are changes in the mortgage conditions that affect the subordination terms.

How Do I Write Subordination of Lease?

Here is a basic template for writing a Subordination of Lease:

Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement

This agreement is made between [Lender], [Landlord], and [Tenant].

  1. Subordination: Tenant agrees that its leasehold interest in the Property is subordinated to the lien of the mortgage held by Lender.
  2. Non-Disturbance: Lender agrees that, in the event of foreclosure, Tenant’s possession of the Property and its lease will not be disturbed.
  3. Attornment: Tenant agrees to recognize any subsequent owner of the Property as its landlord.

Signed this [date] by:

[Lender’s Name]

[Landlord’s Name]

[Tenant’s Name]

Which Contracts Typically Contain Subordination of Lease?

The subordination clause typically appears in the following types of contracts:

  • Commercial Leases: Inclusive of retail, office, and industrial leases where the landlord might have or obtain a mortgage on the property.
  • Residential Leases: Though less common, it can still appear, particularly in larger multi-family rental agreements.
  • Mortgage Agreements: Between lenders and property owners, ensuring the lender’s interest is prioritized.
  • Lease Addendums: An additional document to an existing lease to add or clarify subordination terms.

By understanding these aspects, you’ll be well-equipped to handle situations involving the subordination of lease.
