MISSING KEYS Clause Samples

The "MISSING KEYS" clause addresses the situation where keys necessary for accessing a property or premises are not provided as required. Typically, this clause outlines the responsibilities of the party in possession of the keys—such as a tenant or contractor—to return all keys at the end of a lease or project, and may specify consequences or fees if keys are lost or not returned. By clearly defining the process and repercussions for missing keys, this clause helps prevent disputes and ensures security by holding parties accountable for access control.
