Wake North Carolina Tenant's Subordination refers to the legal act of a tenant voluntarily agreeing to subordinate their rights or interest in a property to the rights of another party, whether it is to a lease or an easement. This subordination is generally done to accommodate the interests of the landlord or the holder of the easement. In Wake North Carolina, 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: In this type of subordination, a tenant agrees that their leasehold interest in the property will be subordinate to the rights and interests of a landlord or a subsequent leaseholder. By doing so, the tenant accepts that in case of any disputes or default, the landlord or the subsequent leaseholder will have priority over their rights as a tenant. This is commonly done to provide security to the landlord or to facilitate financing for the property. 2. General Subordination to an Easement: This type of subordination occurs when a tenant agrees to subordinate their leasehold interest to the rights of an easement holder. An easement is a legal right granted to a person or entity to use a portion of the property for a specific purpose, such as a right of way or an access easement. By subordinating to an easement, the tenant acknowledges that the easement holder has superior rights over the property and may have certain access or usage privileges. In both types of subordination, the tenant acknowledges that their rights are secondary to the rights of the landlord or easement holder and agrees to not take any actions that would interfere with those rights. This subordination is typically done through a written agreement or a clause included in the lease or easement documentation. It is important for tenants in Wake North Carolina to carefully review and understand the implications of subordination before agreeing to it. They should consult with legal professionals to ensure their rights are protected and to fully comprehend the potential impact on their leasehold interest in the property.
