Something that might possibly happen in the future, usually causing problems or making further arrangements necessary: You need to be able to deal with all possible contingencies.
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.
A home inspection contingency is often the most common real estate contingency. The National Association of Realtors® estimates that about 80% of buyers include a home inspection contingency in their contract.
The most common contingency is the home inspection contingency. This condition on an offer states the home sale will only be finalized if the property passes a professional home inspection. In other words, buyers can walk away from a home sale if the home inspection turns up serious problems.
In real estate, contingent means a property has accepted an offer, but the sale is not finalized. The deal hinges on meeting specific conditions. Common contingencies include home inspection, appraisal, financing, title verification, and home sale clauses.
A contingency is a potentially negative future event or circumstance, such as a global pandemic, natural disaster, or terrorist attack. By designing plans that take contingencies into account, companies, governments, and individuals are able to limit the damage done by such events.
