COMMON AREA SERVICES Clause Samples

The Common Area Services clause defines the landlord's responsibility to maintain, repair, and operate shared spaces and facilities within a property, such as lobbies, hallways, parking lots, and restrooms. This clause typically outlines the types of services provided—like cleaning, landscaping, security, and utilities—and may specify how the costs for these services are allocated among tenants, often through additional charges or service fees. Its core practical function is to ensure that all tenants benefit from well-maintained common areas while clearly establishing how the associated expenses are managed and distributed, thereby preventing disputes and ensuring the smooth operation of shared facilities.
