Mid-term repair and dilapidations issues – the Jervis v Harris clause

Often problems become apparent before the end of the lease if the landlord finds that the tenant has failed to comply with their covenants. This webinar will look at the following:

• What can a landlord do if the tenant of a commercial lease fails to keep the property in repair during the term. Does the landlord have to wait till the end of the lease to take action and claim dilapidations?
• Is the threat of forfeiture the only remedy or can the landlord exercise its rights under a ‘Jervis v Harris’ clause in the lease?
• What are such clauses – what are the pitfalls for landlords seeking to exercise these rights? In practice what should a landlord do?
• What should a tenant consider if served with a notice under such provisions and what are the limits on the landlord’s rights
