RE: Subordination Agreement
The Community Development Division received a request for a Subordination Agreement for a lien the City holds for a loan recipient. The information regarding the request follows:
In 2008, Walter Ewert, 1808 Atherton Court, participated in the Lawrence Community Housing Trust Program with Tenants to Homeowners, Inc. In order to participate in the program, a lien agreement was required to protect the City’s interest in the property. Mr. Ewert has sold the property in accordance with the Housing Trust Program provisions to a new buyer. In order to complete the sale and in agreement with Tenants to Homeowners, Inc. the City must subordinate the lien to the new loan with KU Credit Union. The City’s interest will be protected and staff recommends approval.
The City Clerk will have the document for the Mayor's signature. If you have further questions, please let me know.
