In the Spotlight: Mutual Subrogation Waiver Benefits Landlord and Tenant

A very important lease provision, particularly from the tenant's perspective, is an effective subrogation waiver. The subrogation waiver essentially provides that in the event of a casualty that is caused by the negligence of one party to a lease, the negligent party is nonetheless not liable for the resulting damage to the extent that the damage is either covered by applicable insurance proceeds or to the extent it would have been covered by insurance proceeds had the other party to the lease maintained the insurance as required under the lease. Subrogation waivers provide, in effect, that both parties to the lease benefit from the casualty insurance maintained by either party. This concept is especially fair to the tenant in net lease situations where the tenant pays its pro rata share of the landlord's casualty insurance. Landlords also benefit from a mutual subrogation waiver to the extent that the tenant's leasehold improvements, fixtures, and personal property are damaged or destroyed due to the landlord's negligence.

Given the importance of Medicare/Medicaid funding of claims under provider agreements with the federal government, how courts interpret and apply the interplay between the Bankruptcy Code and Medicare Program Act determines the disposition of hundreds of millions of dollars of claims for reimbursement that support the health care system.
