Lease Covenant Advice
When a lease is being drafted, the phrasing used by the drafting solicitors or parties will determine what the Tenant parties contractual obligations are during the lease term. However, the phraseology used by solicitors when drafting a lease is a consequence of hundreds of years of Landlord and Tenant disputes and case law judgements where the layman Landlord and Tenant may not readily appreciate the full legal meaning of the covenants terms and phrases as they appear in the lease.
Landlords and Tenants are often particularly concerned about future repair, maintenance, decoration and alteration covenants and obligations (dilapidations obligations) and care should be taken before the lease is completed by either Landlord and Tenant party that the dilapidations covenants have been drafted in such a way that they truly reflect the genuine intentions of the parties on future dilapidations issues; and that the consequences are understood by the parties.
Because of our expertise on dilapidations, knowledge of case law and interpretation of dilapidation covenants, Barker Associates are ideally placed to provide expert advice on draft lease covenants to both Landlords and Tenants.
