UTILITES Clause Examples

The UTILITIES clause defines the responsibilities related to the provision and payment of utility services, such as electricity, water, gas, and internet, in a contractual arrangement. Typically, this clause specifies which party—landlord or tenant, buyer or seller—is responsible for arranging, maintaining, and covering the costs of these services during the term of the agreement. For example, in a commercial lease, the tenant may be required to set up and pay for their own utility accounts, while the landlord ensures that the necessary infrastructure is available. The core function of this clause is to prevent disputes by clearly allocating responsibility for utilities, ensuring uninterrupted service and financial clarity between the parties.
