Banks that provide financing for commercial tenants and the real estate landlords for those same tenants both want additional security in the tenant’s personal property located at the premises. The interests of the landlord and the lender are in conflict. The landlord is looking to secure the tenant’s rental obligations by taking a lien against the tenant’s fixtures, inventory and equipment located in the space. These items may be particularly valuable in the case of certain retail, restaurant or industrial tenants. At the same time, the tenant’s lender, providing tenant improvement and/or working capital financing, desires a security interest in the same property.
