A quick definition of letter of attornment:

A letter of attornment is a letter from a landlord to their tenant, telling them that the property they are renting has been sold to a new owner. The letter directs the tenant to start paying rent to the new owner instead. Attornment is when a tenant agrees to become the tenant of a new landlord. This is important because it helps the new owner take over the property and start collecting rent.

A more thorough explanation:

A letter of attornment is a document that a landlord sends to their tenant, informing them that the property they are renting has been sold to a new owner. The letter directs the tenant to pay rent to the new owner instead of the previous landlord.

Attornment is the tenant's agreement to recognize the new owner as their landlord and continue paying rent to them. This agreement is necessary because the tenant's lease agreement was with the previous owner, and the new owner has no legal relationship with the tenant until they agree to attorn.

For example, if a tenant is renting a house from John, and John sells the house to Jane, John would send a letter of attornment to the tenant. The letter would inform the tenant that Jane is the new owner and that they should start paying rent to her. The tenant would then need to sign an agreement to attorn to Jane, recognizing her as their new landlord.

Another example of attornment is when a bailee, such as a warehouse owner, acknowledges that they will hold goods on behalf of someone other than the original owner. This type of attornment is a form of constructive delivery, where the mediate possessor of a thing delivers it by procuring the immediate possessor to agree with the transferee to hold it for the future on their account.

im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
