What Are Dilapidations?
Dilapidations relate to breaches of lease covenants concerning repair, decoration and reinstatement.
They commonly arise:
During the term of a lease
At lease expiry
Following service of a break notice
When a landlord prepares a formal claim
When a tenant wishes to assess potential liability
Understanding the extent of repairing obligations within a Full Repairing and Insuring (FRI) lease is critical before negotiations begin.
