attornment
Accepting new landlord
Attornment is the formal acknowledgment by a tenant that a new party has become their landlord.
This typically occurs when property ownership transfers and the tenant agrees to pay rent to the new owner rather than the original one.
The term appears primarily in real estate law: The lease required attornment to any successor landlord.
An attornment clause in a lease obligates the tenant to recognize future owners automatically.
