dilapidations
Dilapidations
In the field of commercial property, the term 'dilapidations' relates to the disrepair, and in particular, the alleged breaches of the Tenant's repairing covenant under the terms of a lease. At the end of a lease, the Landlord will usually prepare and serve a Schedule of Dilapidations on the Tenant which sets out their dilapidations claim. As you can imagine, there is almost always a dispute between the Landlord and Tenant in respect of the dilapidations claim, therefore it is essential for both parties to seek expert advice as early as possible, usually within the last year of the lease term.
