What will happen if the Curator is unable to fulfill the requirements of the lease?
DCR understands that a Curator’s life is subject to unforeseen changes which may prevent them from continuing with the curatorship of a property. In this situation each case will be reviewed on an individual basis with DCR reserving decision making authority. In the worst case scenario where the property’s historic integrity is significantly destroyed by fire or other cause, DCR will terminate the lease. The Curator, however, should not anticipate reimbursement for restoration work already performed on the property under any circumstances. DCR also has the right to terminate the lease if the Curator fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the lease agreement, abandons the premises, or declares bankruptcy.
