Operating Expense Contribution Clause Samples

The Operating Expense Contribution clause defines the obligation of one party, typically a tenant, to pay a share of the ongoing costs associated with operating and maintaining a property. This clause outlines which expenses are included—such as utilities, maintenance, insurance, and property taxes—and specifies how the contribution is calculated, often as a proportion of the total expenses based on leased space. Its core function is to ensure that the costs of property upkeep are fairly distributed among occupants, preventing disputes and clarifying financial responsibilities.
