Explanation
An estoppel certificate is a document a tenant executes certifying the current status of their lease. It is used in commercial real estate when a property is being sold or refinanced so the buyer or lender can verify lease terms, rent amounts, prepaid rent, security deposits, and absence of landlord defaults. The tenant is 'estopped' from later claiming different terms.
