Dilapidations
A claim for dilapidations can arise where a tenant leaves a business premises in disrepair. This can be either during the term of tenancy or when the lease ends. A claim can be made where there is a breach in the obligations that are required under the lease.
The tenant may either be required to do the work or pay the landlord damages equal to the cost of getting the work completed. The landlord may also be entitled to loss of rent, service charges and professional fees whilst the property is off the market.
Without the right advice, planning landlords are at risk of suffering substantial financial losses due to dilapidations.
The cost of repairing a commercial property is often very high. Because of this dilapidation claims are often highly contested. If a resolution cannot be reached then the matter is often referred to the court.
