In real estate, “contingent” refers to a status in which a Massachusetts property is under contract for sale. Still, certain conditions or contingencies must be met before the sale is finalized. These conditions commonly include inspections, financing, appraisal, or selling another property.
out clause allows the seller to continue listing the house for sale. If the buyer does sell the house during that time, the buyer closes title on the seller's house.
Contingent means the seller has accepted an offer, but certain conditions need to be met before the sale closes. This means there's still a chance that the sale could fall through and the house goes back on the market, should those conditions go unmet.
A contingency clause is a contract provision that requires a specific event or action to take place in order for the contract to be considered valid.
Contingent reinforcement is based on specific behaviors, while noncontingent reinforcement is delivered on a set schedule, regardless of behavior. Imagine you're working with a learner who struggles with disruptive behaviors during class time.
Passive contingency removal means that when the deadline passes and the party in question has not cancelled the agreement, by default they have removed their contingency. That is why it is called “passive.” If you do nothing, you are deemed to have removed your contingency.
The contingency removal date is the date agreed upon by the buyer and seller, specifying when the would-be buyer removes the contingency and commits to purchasing the property.
