Dilapidations are the state of disrepair of a commercial (non-domestic) property that occurs when a tenant fails to meet their legal and financial obligations to maintain and repair the property together with related matters such as the reinstatement of alterations. These obligations are set out within the lease agreement between a landlord and tenant and often lead to disputes over interpretation and application.
