The main purpose of this document is to subordinate the lease to the deed of trust or mortgage (if applicable), and have the tenant agree to be bound by the lease to a new owner in the event of foreclosure. Title: Understanding Nevada Subordination, Non-Disturbance, and Attornment Agreement of a Lease for Commercial Loans Introduction: In the realm of commercial real estate transactions, a Subordination, Non-Disturbance, and Attornment Agreement (SODA) is an essential legal document. Specifically, in Nevada, the SODA plays a crucial role in protecting the interests of both landlords and tenants when a commercial property subjected to a loan changes ownership. This article aims to provide a detailed explanation of the Nevada SODA and its different types. 1. Definition of SODA: A Subordination, Non-Disturbance, and Attornment Agreement (SODA) is a legal contract that outlines the relationship between a tenant, the landlord, and the lender in the event of a default on the commercial loan secured by the leased property. The SODA ensures the tenant's rights and lease terms are preserved. 2. Key Components of Nevada SODA: — SubordinationTheodoraDA establishes the priority of rights between the lender and the tenant. It stipulates that the lender's mortgage or deed of trust takes priority over the tenant's lease agreement in case of default or foreclosure. — Non-DisturbanceTheodoraDA guarantees that the lender agrees to respect the tenant's rights and lease agreement, even after a foreclosure, thereby ensuring the tenant won't be unduly evicted due to the actions of the lender. — AttornmentTheodoraDA obligates the tenant to recognize and attorn (except) the lender or the new property owner as the new landlord after a foreclosure. 3. Types of Nevada SODA: a) Tenant-Friendly SODA: This type of SODA is beneficial to tenants as it provides extensive protection of their rights. It ensures that the tenant's lease agreement remains intact even if the property ownership changes hands due to foreclosure or other reasons. The tenant-friendly SODA typically includes clauses that restrict the lender's ability to terminate the lease without appropriate cause. b) Lender-Friendly SODA: Conversely, the lender-friendly SODA prioritizes the lender's rights and interests. It often contains provisions that allow the lender to terminate or modify the lease promptly after foreclosure. This type of SODA seeks to provide the lender with maximum flexibility in managing the property without undue restrictions imposed by the tenant's lease agreement. c) Balanced SODA: A balanced SODA attempts to strike a fair compromise between tenant and lender interests. It considers the importance of maintaining the tenant's occupancy rights while also providing reasonable assurance to the lender. This type of SODA is often a result of negotiations between the tenant, landlord, and lender, aiming for a mutually beneficial outcome. Conclusion: Nevada's Subordination, Non-Disturbance, and Attornment Agreement (SODA) are vital in protecting the rights of both tenants and lenders in the context of commercial property loans. It establishes a framework of priority, maintains lease terms during foreclosure proceedings, and ensures a smooth transition of landlord obligations. Whether tenant-friendly, lender-friendly, or a balanced approach, understanding the different types of SODA agreements is essential for negotiating and safeguarding commercial lease arrangements in Nevada.
