Wisconsin Tenant's Subordination (General — to a Lease/Easement) is a legal agreement between a tenant and a landlord or property owner in the state of Wisconsin. It involves the subordination of the tenant's rights and interests in their lease or easement to the rights of a third party, typically a lender or an easement holder. This agreement is aimed at protecting the interests of the third party in case of default or foreclosure. In Wisconsin, there are two main types of Tenant's Subordination — General Subordination to a Lease and General Subordination to an Easement. 1. General Subordination to a Lease: This type of subordination occurs when a tenant agrees to subordinate their lease rights to the rights of a third party, such as a lender or a mortgage holder. By doing so, the tenant acknowledges that if there is a default on the lease, the rights of the third party will take precedence over their own. This type of subordination is commonly seen in commercial leases. 2. General Subordination to an Easement: In this type of subordination, the tenant agrees to subordinate their rights to the rights of an easement holder. An easement is a legal right to use or access another person's property for a specific purpose, such as a right-of-way for utility lines or access to a neighboring property. By entering into a general subordination agreement, the tenant acknowledges that if the easement holder needs to exercise their rights, the tenant's interests will be secondary to those of the easement holder. The purpose of Wisconsin Tenant's Subordination (General — to a Lease/Easement) is to provide security for lenders and easement holders in situations where a property is encumbered by a lease or an easement. By subordinating their rights, tenants allow the third party to enforce their interests without the risk of the lease or easement interfering with their claims. It's important for tenants in Wisconsin to thoroughly review and understand the terms of any subordination agreement before entering into it. Consulting with an attorney experienced in real estate law is recommended to ensure that the tenant's rights and interests are adequately protected within the scope of the subordination arrangement.
