Tenant's Estoppel Letter Does Not Trump the Lease
An "estoppel certificate" is a written statement by a party having an interest in property that defines and describes that interest so that other parties contemplating taking an interest in the same property will be informed about the nature and extent of that interest. Typically, the party signing the certificate is not a party to the transaction by which the third party is acquiring its interest. But the certificate is worded in such a way so that the party signing it is made aware of the reliance of the third party, and thus the signing party would be "estopped" from asserting matters different from those appearing in the certificate as against the third party upon completion of the transaction.
