Delay Rentals Clause Samples

The Delay Rentals clause establishes the lessee's obligation to make periodic payments to the lessor in order to maintain the validity of an oil and gas lease when drilling or production has not commenced. Typically, these payments are made annually and serve as a substitute for the commencement of drilling operations, allowing the lessee to retain rights to the property without immediate development. This clause ensures that the lessor receives compensation during periods of inactivity and prevents the lease from lapsing due to non-development, thereby balancing the interests of both parties.
