Dilapidations -
‘The identification of the repair liability of the landlord or the tenant of the leasehold property.’
Leases on commercial buildings often contain clauses that impose repair liabilities on the tenant. The wording of the lease and the liability that may arise as a result are of particular importance near the end of a lease when a tenant may be served with a dilapidations schedule. The damages that can be claimed by the landlord as a result of the contents of a dilapidations schedule can be onerous and expensive. In some cases the repair liability at the end may exceed the cost of the rent over the entire term of the lease!
