Surrendered Leases

When I going through the East documents for declarations (Landex search), found a bunch of Surrenders in Fall, 2009.  The most puzzling part of it was that about the same time, several of the surrendered properties were included in declared Units.  I did buy one of the surrenders and stamped on it was "Original Lease Not Recorded".   Any ideas as to what was going on?

Original Lease not recorded may mean that there was a memorandum of lease recorded and not the lease itself. I'm not sure why companies file memorandums and not leases but my guess would be they don't want all the lease terms available to be read by anyone that would want to.

I have seen a number of those surrendered leases also and if there is a unit filed about the same time you will propably find that the surrendered lease is a an extension of an existing lease that did not expire before they declared the unit.  Since the original lease is held by production they surrender the second lease

Was looking for Surrenders in the same time period in 2010 and decided to note the number of them and other categories.  Not "proof" and anything in particular, except that East did get a bunch of leases during their "sweep" and things have really slowed down.

Memorandum    181    179    110    208    102    89    47
Declaration           5         6      14        5      13      1      9
Right-of-Way        6        31      73     12      10      0      0   
Surrender           15         9         5       0      15      3      3
Total                 220     217     204    238   152  103    70
