Dilapidations in property refer to breaches of leases due to the condition of the property being leased. This can occur during the lease or at the end of the tenancy period. Wear and tear, mistreatment and neglect to the property can mean that the tenant is required to have the property put back to its original state, or for the landlord to arrange for the repairs and can legally claim for the payment of these by the tenant. Further work is sometimes required at the end of the lease to reinstate any alterations that have been made to the property.

A landlord can claim for dilapidations during the tenancy if they are aware of mistreatment of the property. However, in most cases the landlord is expected to serve a schedule of dilapidations within a reasonable time on the tenant, not more than 56 days after the end of the tenancy. The landlord and tenant will then be required to enter into negotiations to establish how the repairs will be carried out and ensure that a sufficient conclusion will be reached.
We work with both landlords and tenants to ensure their obligations are met, without being taken advantage of. We use the legal documentation to guide our dilapidations works and ensure you’re meeting the necessary requirements.
