Tenant Estoppel Certificate

← All tools

Selling or refinancing a commercial building? The buyer or lender needs each tenant to certify the status of its lease. PaperKit drafts a proper Tenant Estoppel Certificate — lease date, commencement & expiration, current rent and next due date, deposit and prepaid rent, whether the lease is unmodified or amended, whether there are any defaults, and what the landlord still owes (free rent, TI allowances). Pick buyer or lender to frame it, and toggle the unmodified / no-defaults clauses. Hosted online for the tenant to review & e-certify. Clean PDF.
