WASTE AND CHANGE IN USE Sample Clauses

The 'Waste and Change in Use' clause primarily restricts tenants or occupants from causing damage (waste) to the property or altering its intended use without the landlord's consent. In practice, this means tenants must maintain the premises in good condition and cannot, for example, convert a residential unit into a commercial space or make significant alterations that affect the property's value or structure. The core function of this clause is to protect the landlord's investment by ensuring the property is preserved and used as agreed, preventing unauthorized changes or deterioration.
