A terminal schedule of dilapidations is a claim document served by the landlord at or near the end of a commercial lease. It details each breach of the tenant's obligations to repair, decorate and reinstate, with costs for remedial works. In Richmond, particular attention is often paid to the reinstatement of restaurant and leisure fit-out.
The dilapidations process in Richmond typically takes three to six months from schedule service to settlement. Restaurant and leisure premises with extensive fit-out and reinstatement obligations may take longer to resolve due to the complexity of the works involved.
