Defaults by Tenant; Remedies Clause Samples

The "Defaults by Tenant; Remedies" clause defines what constitutes a breach or default by the tenant under the lease and outlines the landlord's rights and actions if such a default occurs. Typically, this clause specifies events like failure to pay rent, unauthorized use of the premises, or violation of lease terms as defaults, and details the process for notifying the tenant and any grace periods for curing the default.

  • Defaults Remedies If Tenant fails to pay the Rent, or any installment thereof, within five (5) days after the same becomes due and payable, or if Tenant violates or fails or neglects to keep and perform any of the covenants, conditions, and agreements herein contained on the part of Tenant to be kept and performed within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such failure or neglect, or if the Premises becomes vacant or deserted, then, and in each and every such event, at the option of Landlord, Tenant's right of possession will thereupon cease and terminate, and to the extent permitted by law Landlord will be entitled to the possession of the Premises and to re-enter the same without demand of Rent or demand of possession and may forthwith proceed to recover possession of the Premises by process of law, ANY NOTICE TO QUIT OR OF INTENTION TO RE-ENTER THE SAME BEING HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVED BY TENANT. In the event of such re-entry by process of law or otherwise, Tenant nevertheless agrees to remain answerable for any and all damage, deficiency or loss of Rent which Landlord may sustain by such re-entry, including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs; and in such case, Landlord reserves full power, which is hereby acceded to by Tenant, to relet the Premises for the benefit of Tenant, in liquidation and discharge, in whole or in part, as the case may be, of the liability of Tenant under the terms and provision of this Lease. In addition to the foregoing remedies, Landlord will also have the following remedies to the extent permitted by law and all other remedies afforded to it at law or in equity, all of which shall be cumulative: to terminate this Lease; to declare due and payable all Rent for the unexpired Term as and when the same becomes due and payable or to defer any suit until after the Term without thereby prejudicing its rights; to accelerate the Rent for the remainder of the Term and declare it all immediately due and payable [with a present value discount two (2) whole percentage points below the prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal on the date Landlord elects said remedy]; and to bring an action for specific performance, injunction, or other equitable relief to prevent any threatened or impending default or to end any existing default. In addition, Landlord may perform any obligation which Tenant has failed to perform after the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period (except in an emergency, when no notice or cure period will be necessary or afforded), all at the cost of Tenant as Additional Rent payable upon demand. Tenant shall also pay all expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by Landlord following a default, whether or not suit is instituted; the same shall be Additional Rent payable upon demand. In determining the Rent due for the balance of the Term, all Additional Rent shall be determined by projecting into the future the Additional Rent payable on the date of default increasing by a compounding five percent (5%) per Lease Year. No waiver of any breach of any covenant, condition, or agreement herein contained shall operate as a waiver of the covenant, condition or agreement itself, or of any subsequent breach thereof. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord unless such waiver shall be in writing signed by Landlord. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated Rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such Rent or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease. Landlord shall have a lien for the payment of the Rent upon all of the goods, wares, chattels, fixtures, furniture and other personal property of Tenant which may be in or upon the Premises, Tenant hereby specifically waiving any and all exemptions allowed by law; such lien may be enforced on the nonpayment of any installment of Rent by the taking and selling of such property in the same manner as in the case of chattel mortgages on default thereunder; said sale is to made upon ten (10) days notice served upon Tenant by posting upon the Premises or such lien may be enforced in any other lawful manner at the option of Landlord.

(b) If Landlord reenters the Premises under subsection (a)(ii) above, such reentry or any action, in unlawful detainer or otherwise, to obtain possession of the Premises shall not be deemed to be an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease, or Tenant's liability to pay rent or other charges thereafter accruing, or Tenant's liability for damages under any provisions hereof, unless Landlord elects to terminate this Lease by written notice to that effect given to Tenant. Tenant covenants that the service by Landlord of any notice pursuant to the unlawful detainer statutes of the State in which the Premises is located and the surrender of possession pursuant to such notice shall not be deemed to be a. termination of this Lease, unless Landlord elects to the contrary by written notice to that effect given to Tenant at the time of or after the service of any such statutory notice. If Landlord reenters or takes possession of the Premises as aforesaid, Landlord shall have the right, subject to the provisions of this Lease, including without limitation, the provisions of Section 16.2, to remove therefrom all or any part of the personal property located therein and may dispose of or place the same in storage at a public warehouse at the expense and risk of Tenant; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be obligated to remove and/or dispose of any such personal property.

If Landlord so reenters and takes possession of the Premises, Landlord may decorate, repair and alter the Premises to the extent Landlord deems appropriate for purposes of such reletting. If Landlord is unable to so relet the Premises, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord monthly on the first day of each month during the period that Tenant's right to possession is terminated, a sum equal to the Rent due under this Lease for that month. If the Premises are relet, Landlord shall apply the rents therefrom first to payment of Landlord's expenses incurred by reason of Tenant's default, second, to payment of Landlord's expenses of reletting, including without limitation, brokerage fees and reasonable attorneys' fees, and third, to payment of Rent due from Tenant under this Lease. All sums expended and concessions granted to any new tenant shall be amortized on a straight -line basis over the term of the ne'vY lease and Tenant's liability therefor shall be limited to that portion attributable to the unexpired term of this Lease. If the sums received from such reletting are insufficient to satisfy the payment of Rent due from Tenant under this Lease for any month, Tenant shall remain liable for the deficiency. If the sums received from such reletting exceed the Rent otherwise due from Tenant for any month, Tenant shall have no rights thereto except that such excess amounts shall be applied against Rent subsequently due under this Lease. No such reletting by Landlord shall be considered to be (A) for Landlord's own account unless and until Landlord notifies Tenant that this Lease has been terminated, and (B) an acceptance of Tenant's surrender of the Premises unless and until Landlord so notifies Tenant (d) In the event of any termination of this Lease or repossession of any of the Premises after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Base Rent, Additional Rent and all other sums required to be paid by Tenant to and including the date of such termination or repossession and, thereafter, Tenant shall, until the end of what would have been the Term in the absence of such termination or repossession, and whether or not any of the Premises shall have been relet, be liable to Landlord for and shall pay to Landlord as liquidated and agreed current damages: (i) Base Rent, Additional Rent and all other sums which would be payable under this Lease by Tenant in the absence of such termination or repossession, less (ii) the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting pursuant to Section 15.2(c), after deducting from such proceeds all of Landlord's reasonable expenses in connection with such re letting (including without limitation, all reasonable repossession costs,. brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys' fees, costs of Alteration and expenses of preparation for reletting). Tenant hereby agrees to be and remain liable for all sums aforesaid and Landlord may recover such damages from Tenant and institute and maintain successive actions or legal proceedings against Tenant for the recovery of such damages. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require Landlord to wait to begin such action or other legal proceedings until the date when the Term would have expired had there been no such Event of Default. (e) At any time after such termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 15.2(a)(i) or pursuant to law, whether or not Landlord shall have recovered any amounts under Section 15.2(c) or 15.2(d), Landlord, at its option, shall be entitled to recover from Tenant and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, as and for liquidated and agreed final damages for Tenant's default, (i) the amount by which the Base Rent and all Additional Rent reserved hereunder for the unexpired portion of the Term demised herein as if the Lease had not expired or been terminated exceeds the then fair and reasonable rental value of the Premises for the same period, discounted to present worth at the prime rate (as defined in Section 24.6), minus any such monthly deficiencies previously recovered from Tenant for such unexpired portion of the Term demised herein under Section 15.2(c), plus (ii) all reasonable legal fees and other costs and expenses incurred by Landlord as a result of Tenant's default under this Lease and the exercise of any rights and remedies hereunder. (f) If any statute or rule of law governing a proceeding in which such liquidated final damages provided for in Section 15.2(e) are to be proved shall validly limit the amount thereof to an amount less than the amount above agreed upon, Landlord shall be entitled to the maximum amount allowable under such statute or rule of law. (g) Mention in this Lease of any particular remedy shall not preclude Landlord from any other remedy at law or in equity. No right or remedy conferred upon or reserved to Landlord in this Lease is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy; and each and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right or remedy contained in this Lease. No delay or failure by Landlord or Tenant to enforce its rights under this Lease shall be construed as a waiver, modification or relinquishment thereof. Tenant waives any rights of redemption granted by any laws if Tenant is evicted or dispossessed, or if Landlord obtains possession of the Premises by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the terms of this Lease.
