Proprietary Leases Clause Samples

A Proprietary Leases clause defines the rights and obligations of a tenant who holds a lease for a unit in a cooperative building, rather than owning the unit outright. This clause typically outlines the terms under which the tenant may occupy the unit, the duration of the lease, and the responsibilities for maintenance, payment of fees, and compliance with cooperative rules. For example, it may specify that the leaseholder must obtain board approval for certain actions or that the lease is automatically renewed as long as the tenant remains a shareholder. The core function of this clause is to establish the legal framework for occupancy in a co-op, ensuring both the cooperative corporation and the tenant understand their respective rights and duties, thereby preventing disputes and maintaining order within the building.
