5 common defences against dilapidations claims
Schedule of Condition, supersession, Section 18, fair wear and tear, betterment — the five most powerful tools in a tenant's arsenal when a claim arrives.
Section 18 and the diminution cap, plainly explained
The single most misunderstood piece of law in commercial dilapidations. Section 18 of the 1927 Act caps claims at the reduction in property value caused by the breaches.
Why every commercial tenant needs a Schedule of Condition
The cheapest protection you can buy at lease start. A Schedule of Condition limits your repair liability to the documented condition — and it pays for itself many times over at lease end.
