What Is a Schedule of Dilapidations?

A Schedule of Dilapidations is a formal document that identifies breaches of lease covenants relating to repair, decoration, maintenance and reinstatement obligations.

It is commonly prepared:

  • During the term of a lease

  • Towards lease expiry

  • Following service of a break notice

  • Prior to lease renewal negotiations

  • When assessing potential liabilities under a commercial lease

Understanding the repairing obligations contained within a Full Repairing and Insuring (FRI) lease is essential before any claim or negotiation takes place.
