Explanation

An SNDA agreement is a tripartite agreement in commercial real estate: (1) Subordination — the tenant's lease is subordinate to the lender's mortgage; (2) Non-disturbance — if the lender forecloses, it agrees not to disturb the tenant's possession as long as the tenant performs its lease obligations; (3) Attornment — the tenant agrees to recognize the lender (or purchaser at foreclosure) as the new landlord. SNDAs are standard in Oregon commercial lending.
