Subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreements - known as SDNAs - protect tenants, landlords and lenders in the event of foreclosure
Article Abstract:
Parties to commercial real estate transactions need to negotiate subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreements (SDNAs) carefully as these make the relationship between landlord, tenant and lender as stable as possible and spell out what will happen in the event of foreclosure. SDNAs can make sure that tenants with valuable leases, especially those who are making many leasehold improvements, will not lose their lease in the event of foreclosure. Lenders can assure continued cash flow after foreclosure and guard against inadvertent lease termination resulting from post-default remedies.
