WHAT ARE DILAPIDATIONS?

Dilapidations are the works required to restore a commercially lease property to its original state as when it was first leased. Dilapidations are repairs required during or after the tenancy or lease. In a commercial lease, dilapidation is the defects or damages to the space that a tenant is legally obliged to put right under the terms of their lease. The commercial lease usually specifies that the hired space must be left in a rentable condition. This can include the removal of all the fixtures and fittings installed by the tenant, repairing any damage done to the floors, getting an electrical installation condition report, and the usual decorating throughout.

As a landlord, you can make a dilapidation claim against the tenant either during or at the end of the tenancy. The dilapidation claim should draw out all the repairs that are required for the leased property. In many cases, the tenant will fix the damage themselves, or if not, the landlord will restore the property and charge the tenant for their costs which can include loss of rent. If the lease allows, the landlord can claim damages, forfeiture, or specific performance. At Dilapidation Contractors, we help landlords and tenants assess their dilapidation requirements by undertaking a full site survey and if needed carrying the strip out, demolition, and reinstatement works. As a tenant its important to understand your lease agreement obligations and failure to comply with dilapidation agreements can place you in breach of your contractual obligations.

FAQ

What is Dilapidations Reinstatement?

As part of a dilapidations claim, the landlord has the right to demand that the tenant reinstate any alterations or remove fixtures made by the tenant as part of a dilapidations claim. The landlord must serve notice on the tenant to fulfill this obligation.

What is the Dilapidations Protocol?

The Dilapidations Protocol is a critical document published by the Ministry of Justice that applies solely to commercial property disputes in England and Wales. It sets out clear expectations for the parties involved, outlining the necessary steps that must be taken before proceeding to court. Failure to comply with these guidelines could result in detrimental consequences.

What does Dilapidated mean?

Dilapidated pertains to a building or sometimes an object that has fallen into a state of disrepair due to aging or neglect. With regards to properties, it typically applies to commercial properties that have been harmed and left in poor condition after a tenant exits. We are worked on many commercial buildings, restoring them to their pre-tenancy condition and guaranteeing that the property is returned to the landlord in its previous condition.

Who pays for Dilapidation?

It is normal for disputes and disagreements to arise over the responsility or repairs, this is why it is highly advisable for both the landlord and the tenant to seek professional legal guidance when devising a repair plan. To determine whether a repair is necessary, there are four key considerations:

1. Does the lease agreement cover the specific item in need of repair?

2. Has the item deteriorated significantly since the building was originally constructed?

3. What actions are required to restore the item to an acceptable condition?

4. Was it reasonable to expect the type of work that was carried out?

Tenants might assume that if the property is in better condition now than when they first moved in, they are not responsible for repairs. However, the responsibility to maintain the property in good repair is not simply a matter of comparing its condition at the beginning and end of the lease. It also includes an implicit obligation to restore the property to an acceptable standard and then keep it that way.

How long does a landlord have to claim Dilapidations?

If a landlord is aware that their property has been damaged during the tenancy, they can claim for dilapidations. Typically, the landlord is expected to provide the tenant with a list of necessary repairs within a reasonable timeframe, but no more than 56 days after the tenancy has ended. The landlord and tenant will then work together to negotiate how the repairs will be completed and ensure a satisfactory outcome is achieved. Dilapidation contractors work with both landlords and tenants to ensure their obligation are met, without being taken advantage of. We use legal documentation to guide our dilapidations works and ensure you are meeting the requirements.

What is a Dilapidation Survey?

At the end of your tenancy or lease, a dilapidations survey will be undertaken by an accredited surveyors to assess that the property has been restored to its original state. The survery is highly detailed and reports on the present condition of the property, looking at the physical structure and systems to issues involving furnishing ans general wear and tear.
