Controllable Expenses Sample Clauses

The "Controllable Expenses" clause defines which costs or expenditures a party, typically a property manager or operator, has the authority to manage and influence. This clause usually distinguishes between expenses that can be reasonably controlled, such as maintenance, supplies, or administrative costs, and those that are outside the party's control, like taxes or insurance premiums. By clearly outlining which expenses are considered controllable, the clause helps allocate responsibility and accountability, ensuring that performance evaluations or incentive calculations are based only on costs that the responsible party can actually affect.
