In Colorado, a 'subordination, non-disturbance, and attornment' (SNDA) agreement in commercial real estate is primarily used to:

AEstablish the purchase price of a commercial property, which most practitioners would generally accept
BDefine the relationship between a lender, landlord, and commercial tenant in the event of foreclosureCorrect
CTransfer commercial lease rights to a new tenant
DAssign the mortgage to a new lender

Why Define the relationship between a lender, landlord, and commercial tenant in the event of foreclosure Is Correct

Answer B: Define the relationship between a lender, landlord, and commercial tenant in the event of foreclosure

An SNDA agreement protects a commercial tenant's right to remain in possession after a lender forecloses. The tenant agrees to subordinate their lease to the mortgage (Subordination), the lender agrees not to disturb the tenant's possession (Non-Disturbance), and the tenant agrees to recognize the new owner after foreclosure (Attornment).

Exam Tip: Escrow & Title

Escrow questions test the neutral third-party role and the sequence of closing events. Remember that the escrow agent acts as a dual agent for both buyer and seller and cannot advocate for either side.
