While you can put such a default clause in the commercial lease – and most
have them – keep in mind that if the lessee files bankruptcy/other type of
insolvency, and wants to cure the default and assume/assign the lease,
these types of clauses are not enforceable; called ipso facto clauses.
See 11 USC 365 (b)(2), part of the Bankruptcy Code dealing with executory
contracts and leases.

But you provide an opportunity to cure the default, don't you?  The form
I'm looking at right now has nothing in it regarding Lessee's ability to
cure.

Jodi,

 

I’ve usually seen it in commercial leases.  I usually add failure to pay
to declare default, not just bankruptcy, etc.

Listmates,

 

Has it become standard for a default clause in a commercial lease to
include a lessee's filing bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation as an
event of default?

 

Thanks.
