OPTIONAL IMPROVEMENTS Sample Clauses

The Optional Improvements clause allows one party, typically a tenant or licensee, to make enhancements or upgrades to a property or asset at their discretion, rather than as a contractual obligation. In practice, this clause outlines the process for proposing, approving, and implementing such improvements, including any requirements for landlord or owner consent and the handling of improvements at the end of the agreement. Its core function is to provide flexibility for the party in possession to adapt the property to their needs while ensuring that the interests of the owner are protected and that responsibilities for costs and removal are clearly defined.
