2. Dilapidations
   

   Dear Darren, Was your lease for half the premises or for the whole? If you leased the entire premises on FR & I terms but following temination, the landlord has divided them and let half and this negates the work in the schedule of dilapidations, you may have a defence to that part of the claim. The validity of the claim will depend upon the lease and the circumstances, which are not clear from your brioef summary. In any event, the limit of liability is dictated by section 18(1) of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1927. If you want to discu...

   The position will depend on the terms of the lease and the condition of the asbestos. The mere presence of asbestos is not a disrepair. It would be appropriate to require work to the asbestos only if it is in a poor condition, eg if it is flaking. If work is to be done notice must be given and ap

   ... allow the tenant to exit the property – litigation may follow.  Lease assignment. Where a tenant wishes to leave the tenancy agreement and assign the lease to someone else.

    Long service is a commodity that employers rarely see these days, as the UK’s workforce moves from job to job far more in modern times. With an emphasis on youth very much a part of modern business dynamics, it can be easy to forget employees who have worked tirelessly for a long period of tim

    The point is, that our law system apparently ignores the fact accidents happen. Kids particularly get hurt because they are pushing boundaries and testing their limits - that is life. Our job as responsible adults and citizens is to create a secure environment free from obvious hazards - not wrap

    ...o redevelop the premises. However, by April the landlord offered to renew the leases and in June it withdrew its opposition to the request for the new tenancies. Thales stated that their plans were too far advanced and did not apply to the court for a renewal. The landlord mounted a claim for dilapidations and Thales counterclaimed for compensation. Sun Life objected, claiming that Thales' request was not valid as they did not have a genuine intention to take up a new tenancy at the time they served the request under section 26. At first instance, the judge held that Thales' claim was invalid but thi...

13. Are you Ready for Forthcoming Asbestos Regulations?
    

    The issue over who needs to commision the asbestos survey ( landlord or tenant ) all depends on what the lease says. The case law on Dilapidations is long and complex, so before spending a lot of time and money appointing an asbestos surveyor, I suggest you consult a Chartered Surveyor for advice on who is responsible.
