Contingency Use Clause Samples

A Contingency Use clause defines the conditions under which a party may use a property or asset for a specific, alternative purpose if certain events or requirements are not met. Typically, this clause outlines what triggers the contingency—such as a primary tenant failing to occupy a leased space—and specifies the permitted alternative uses or users. Its core practical function is to provide flexibility and mitigate risk by ensuring that the property or asset does not remain idle or unproductive if the original plan cannot proceed as intended.
