Description

Subordination Nondisturbance and Attornment Agreement A Florida Subordination, Nondisturbance, and Attornment Agreement (SODA) is a legal document that outlines the rights and obligations of three parties in a real estate transaction. The parties involved are typically a landlord, a tenant, and a lender. The purpose of an SODA is to protect the interests of both the lender and tenant in the event of a default or foreclosure on the property. In a Florida SODA, "subordination" refers to the agreement from the tenant to subordinate its leasehold interest to the lender's mortgage or lien on the property. This means that in case of default, the lender's rights take priority over the tenant's rights. Subordination allows the lender to foreclose without invalidating the lease, ensuring the continuity of the tenant’s occupancy. "Nondisturbance" is the provision that offers protection to the tenant against any disruption of their lease by the lender. Essentially, it guarantees that if the lender forecloses on the property, the tenant's rights to occupy the premises will remain intact, as long as the tenant is not in default under the lease terms. The tenant can continue to operate its business or use the premises per the terms of the lease. "Attornment" pertains to the tenant's agreement to recognize and accept a new landlord if the property is foreclosed upon and transferred to a new owner. The tenant agrees to attorn to the new landlord and to comply with the terms of the lease as if the new landlord was the original landlord. Different types of Florida SODA agreements can vary depending on the specific requirements of each transaction. For example, there can be an SODA agreement relating to a commercial lease, where a lender is involved in financing the property. Another type may be an SODA agreement in connection with a residential lease, where a tenant seeks protection against foreclosure. In summary, a Florida Subordination, Nondisturbance, and Attornment Agreement (SODA) is a legal document that outlines the rights and obligations of the landlord, tenant, and lender in a real estate transaction. It establishes the priority of rights between the lender and tenant, ensures the tenant's lease remains valid in case of foreclosure, and obligates the tenant to recognize a new landlord if ownership of the property changes hands. Different types of SODA agreements can exist depending on the type of lease and property involved.
