Nonwaiver Provisions
What is this form?
The Nonwaiver Provisions form is a legal document that outlines how a landlord's failure to take action for a lease violation does not waive their right to address that violation later. This form is essential for landlords and tenants to understand the importance of lease terms and conditions, ensuring that rights are preserved even if issues are not immediately addressed. By clearly stating the nonwaiver of terms, this form differs from general lease agreements by focusing specifically on the landlord's rights and obligations regarding lease enforcement.
What’s included in this form
- Definition of nonwaiver: Clarifies that lack of action does not constitute a waiver of rights.
- Acceptance of rent with knowledge of breach: States that accepting rent does not waive the landlord's right to pursue a breach.
- Limitations on acceptance of surrender: Details that actions by landlord or agents do not imply acceptance of lease surrender.
- Written waiver requirement: Specifies that any waiver must be in writing and signed by the landlord.
Common use cases
This form should be used when drafting or reviewing an office lease agreement. It is particularly important in situations where the landlord may not immediately enforce a lease provision.
