End of lease dilapidations refer to the repairs or renovations that a tenant is responsible for making at the end of their lease in order to return the property to its original condition, as specified in the lease agreement. This is a common practice in the UK and is designed to protect the interests of the landlord.
Typically, end of lease dilapidations are assessed by the landlord or their appointed surveyor, who will inspect the property and produce a schedule of dilapidations. This schedule will list all of the repairs that are required, such as repainting walls, repairing flooring or fixtures, and replacing damaged or broken items.
The tenant is then given a period of time to complete these repairs before they vacate the property. If the tenant fails to make the necessary repairs, the landlord can use the deposit or other security provided by the tenant to cover the cost of the repairs.
In some cases, disputes may arise between the landlord and tenant over the extent of the required repairs or the cost of the repairs. In such cases, the parties may need to seek legal advice or engage in mediation or arbitration to resolve the dispute.
