<p class="MsoNormal">When a construction contract states that when the owner “occupies” the property after C/O certain things happen without defining the term. Anyone have any guidance as to the definition of “occupies”? Obviously, moving in constitutes occupation
but are there actions short of actually moving in that would be “occupies”?<o:p></o:p></p>
