Lease Services for Tenants

Tenants have more protection than they often realise — but only if it’s used properly. Schedules of condition cap your exposure at the start; dilapidations defence challenges inflated claims at the end; assessments help you budget; repairs notice responses keep you in control.

Tenants usually have more protection than they’re given credit for — but it only counts if it’s used at the right moment. The two that matter most are the start and the end of the lease: what you record going in, and how you respond to the claim coming out.

At lease commencement, a schedule of condition limits you to handing the building back no worse than you found it — often the single biggest saving available to a tenant. At lease end, a landlord’s dilapidations claim is an opening position, not a bill; inflated and over-specified claims are common, and a properly argued response routinely settles for a fraction of the figure demanded. In between, a mid-lease assessment lets you budget for the real liability rather than be surprised by it.

Whatever stage you’re at, the aim is the same: pay for what you’re genuinely liable for, and not a penny of someone else’s wish list.
