Temporary Reduction Clause Samples
A Temporary Reduction clause allows for a short-term decrease in certain obligations or payments under a contract, typically in response to specific circumstances or events. For example, it may permit a tenant to pay reduced rent for a defined period due to renovations or allow a borrower to make lower loan payments during financial hardship. This clause provides flexibility for parties to adjust their commitments temporarily, helping to address unforeseen challenges without permanently altering the contract's terms.
