There are different types of Rhode Island Subordination Nondisturbance and Attornment Agreements based on the parties involved and the specific situation: 1. Tenant SODA: This type of SODA is commonly used in commercial lease agreements where the tenant agrees to subordinate their leasehold interest to the lender's mortgage interest. It ensures that the tenant will recognize the lender as the new landlord in the event of foreclosure, irrespective of any disturbance caused by the foreclosure process. 2. Lender SODA: In this type of SODA, the lender (mortgagee) and the tenant both agree to protect their respective rights and interests in case of default or foreclosure. It establishes that the lender will honor the tenant's lease agreement and not disturb their occupancy as long as the tenant complies with the terms of the lease. 3. Landlord SODA: A landlord SODA is a contract between the lender and landlord, separate from the tenant. It is mainly designed to protect the landlord's rights by ensuring that the lender will not disturb the landlord's ability to collect rent or terminate the lease during a foreclosure process. Regardless of the specific type, a Rhode Island Subordination Nondisturbance and Attornment Agreement aims to establish a clear hierarchy of rights, protect all parties' interests, and provide stability to the tenant's occupancy even in the face of foreclosure or change in ownership. It is a crucial legal tool that helps maintain the continuity of commercial operations, mitigates risks, and provides a framework for resolving potential conflicts among lenders, tenants, and landlords.
