Re: Notices of Non-Responsibility

A Notice of Non-Responsibility is usually implicated in a situation were a tenant is contracting for improvements in his leased space, which might result in the premises being subjected to an unpaid contractor or laborer's mechanic's lien.

Merely assigning the lease would not normally involve mechanic's lien claims. However, the landlord should consider getting an estoppel certificate in this situation, where the tenant parties agree and acknowledge that the lease remains in full force and effect, and that the landlord has fully performed to date and is not in breach of any covenant or condition of the lease.

Your attorney can explain further.
