Dilapidations Protocol

The Dilapidations Protocol is a set of guidelines used in commercial property leases to streamline how landlords and tenants handle repairs and damage to the property at the end of a lease. It encourages early discussions and clear standards to resolve what repairs are needed, reducing disputes and legal costs. The protocol aims to make the process more transparent and efficient, ensuring both parties understand their responsibilities and agree on the condition of the property when tenants vacate. Essentially, it’s a framework to manage dilapidations—damage or necessary repairs—more effectively and with less conflict.
