Reinstatement is an obligation on the Tenant to restore the space back to a condition, typically this is CAT A (or CAT B), that was pre agreed in the original Lease on expiry. Most Landlord’s will accept reinstating any alterations made by the Tenant, general building repairs, redecoration and code or statutory compliance.
Dilapidations are works required by the Landlord to be completed in advance of the Tenant handing back leased space. A tenant’s liability for dilapidations is determined by the terms of the lease and vary based on the Landlord and geographic region. Therefore the obligation and cost placed on the tenant varies significantly.
