Between Buildings Clause Samples
The "Between Buildings" clause defines the rights and responsibilities related to the spaces or areas that exist between two or more buildings within a property or development. Typically, this clause clarifies who is responsible for the maintenance, access, and use of these interstitial spaces, such as courtyards, walkways, or shared driveways. For example, it may specify whether these areas are considered common property, who can use them, and how costs for their upkeep are shared. The core function of this clause is to prevent disputes by clearly allocating duties and rights regarding the spaces that are not part of any single building but are essential for access, aesthetics, or shared use.
Between Buildings a.
