Utilities contract clause examples

Utilities, Services. Landlord shall provide to the Common Areas and the Premises, subject to the terms of this Section 11, water, electricity, heat, light, power, sewer, and other utilities (including gas and fire sprinklers to the extent the Project is plumbed for such services), and, with respect to the Common Areas and the Shared Suite Area only, refuse and trash collection and janitorial services (collectively, “Utilities”). Landlord shall pay, as Operating Expenses or subject to Tenant’s reimbursement obligation, for all Utilities used on the Premises, all maintenance charges for Utilities, and any storm sewer charges or other similar charges for Utilities imposed by any Governmental Authority or Utility provider, and any taxes, penalties, surcharges or similar charges thereon. Landlord may cause, at Landlord’s expense, any Utilities to be separately metered or charged directly to Tenant by the provider. Tenant shall pay directly to the Utility provider, prior to delinquency, any separately metered Utilities and services which may be furnished to Tenant or the Premises during the Term. Tenant shall pay, as part of Operating Expenses, its share of all charges for jointly metered Utilities based upon consumption, as reasonably determined by Landlord. No interruption or failure of Utilities, from any cause whatsoever other than Landlord’s willful misconduct, shall result in eviction or constructive eviction of Tenant, termination of this Lease or the abatement of Rent. Unless Tenant delivers Landlord written notice that it has elected to retain a third party to provide janitorial services to the Premises pursuant to the immediately following sentence, Landlord shall provide janitorial services to the Premises and Landlord shall charge Tenant directly for such janitorial services. Upon written notice to Landlord, Tenant may elect, at any time during the Term, to retain a third party reasonably acceptable to Landlord to provide janitorial services to the Premises, in which case Tenant shall pay such third party directly for such janitorial services. Tenant agrees to limit use of water and sewer with respect to Common Areas to normal restroom use.
