Any conditions in the contract might prove onerous.

For instance, the contract may forbid certain types of working to be carried out in the building. If the tenant is a company and wants to carry out the kind of working forbidden, then this will be onerous for them.

i totally get you sir. But somehow am a little flustered still. I don’t if its because i encountered this thing sometime in some past paper or what, but i have always thought of onerous contract as a loss making contract. So, is this anyway different from that? Or that my earlier belief was only wrong?

Onerous means troublesome. That does not mean loss-making – all sorts of conditions in the contract could be troublesome without necessarily resulting in losing money.
