REPAIRS AND DILAPIDATIONS — THE TENANT'S VIEW

Abstract

For the manager of business premises, the need to keep them in good repair is one of the principal and most expensive responsibilities. Not only does it involve satisfying the demands of the occupants of the building, but in the majority of cases it involves satisfying the requirements of the landlord as well. The lease of most business premises impose on the tenant an obligation to keep at least the interior in repair; for those who occupy the whole of a building the obligation in many cases extends to the outside as well. An attempt by the landlord to enforce what he sees as his rights under a tenant's covenant to repair will almost always involve the tenant in some expense and a degree of confusion. The purpose of this article is to attempt to shed a little light on this complex area of the law.
