What is “Use of Premises”?

The “Use of Premises” clause in a contract outlines how a tenant or occupant is permitted to use the rented or leased property. This clause is essential in maintaining the intended purpose of the property and ensuring that both parties have a clear understanding of the permissible activities within the premises. It often specifies restrictions, permissible activities, and the responsibilities of the tenant.

When should I use “Use of Premises”?

The “Use of Premises” clause should be used in any contract involving the lease or rental of property. This includes:

  • Residential lease agreements
  • Commercial lease agreements
  • Event space rentals
  • Storage unit rentals

Including this clause helps prevent potential disputes by clearly defining the expected use of the property and any limitations or prohibitions.

How do I write “Use of Premises”?

When drafting a “Use of Premises” clause, consider the following components:

  1. Description of Permitted Use: Clearly define what activities are permitted.

    Example: “The premises shall be used for the operation of a retail clothing store and for no other purpose.”

  2. Restrictions: List any activities that are specifically prohibited.

    Example: “Tenant shall not use the premises for any illegal activities or activities that may cause a nuisance to other tenants.”

  3. Compliance with Laws: Ensure that the use complies with relevant local, state, and federal laws.

    Example: “Tenant agrees to comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances in the use of the premises.”

  4. Maintenance and Repairs: Outline the tenant’s responsibilities regarding care and maintenance of the premises.

    Example: “Tenant shall maintain the premises in good condition and promptly repair any damage caused by their use.”

Which contracts typically contain “Use of Premises”?

The “Use of Premises” clause is commonly found in the following types of contracts:

  • Residential Lease Agreements: These contracts specify the use of a residential property by a tenant.
  • Commercial Lease Agreements: These contracts govern the use of commercial spaces, such as offices, retail stores, or warehouses.
  • Event Space Rentals: Contracts detailing the rental of spaces for events, parties, or meetings.

Waiver of liability

A waiver of liability clause releases one party from legal claims or damages that may arise from their actions or negligence. By agreeing to this clause, the other party acknowledges and accepts the risks involved, forfeiting their right to seek compensation.

Warranty of title

The "Warranty of Title" clause ensures that the seller guarantees they have the legal right to transfer ownership of the goods being sold and that the title is free from any encumbrances, liens, or other claims. This clause protects the buyer from any third-party claims on the title that may arise after the purchase.

Work made for hire

A "Work Made for Hire" clause stipulates that any work created by an employee within the scope of their employment, or certain commissioned works falling under specific categories, is automatically owned by the employer or commissioning party from the moment of creation. This ensures that the entity paying for the work retains all intellectual property rights, rather than the individual creator.
