Negotiating Dilapidations

Dilapidation claims are a contractual claim subject to a statutory cap. This session will focus on the often complex and grey areas, looking at many of the landlord and tenant rights and obligations.  

The session will cover:

• The relevant clauses and where to find them
• What do the words of repairing clauses actually mean?
• The statutory cap
• The default common law position
• How inherent defects interact with dilapidation claims
• The Dilapidations Protocol
• Tactics: how do you play it if you are a landlord?  How do you play it if you are a tenant?
