Utility Use Clause Samples

The Utility Use clause defines the terms under which utilities such as water, electricity, gas, and internet may be used on a property. It typically outlines responsibilities for payment, restrictions on excessive or improper use, and may specify which party—landlord or tenant—is responsible for arranging and maintaining utility services. This clause ensures that both parties understand their obligations regarding utility costs and usage, thereby preventing disputes and clarifying financial responsibilities during the term of the agreement.
