1. Repair Obligations in Leases – What Causes Problems?

Presented by Mark Shelton, Commercial Property Management Law Trainer

When dilapidations disputes arise, it is striking how often they can be traced back to what was done or not done at the time the lease was granted. Due diligence prior to signing the lease is one issue, but problems may arise from inadequacy of schedules of condition, inaccurate lease drafting, lack of focus on the interaction between repair obligations and fixtures and a failure to appreciate the implications of common lease provisions.

The cause of problems may also lie at lease expiry, though, and effective preparation is essential.

This session will consider commonly-encountered problems, and suggest practical solutions, including the radical option of doing away with any tenant’s repairing obligation.

Learning objectives:

Effective pre-contract investigations
The limitations of schedules of condition
Common drafting issues
Four issues to anticipate and document when alterations are done
How to lay the groundwork for a good outcome as lease expiry approaches

2. Turnover-Based Rents

Presented by Mark Shelton, Commercial Property Management Law Trainer

The woes of the retail sector over the past few years are well-recognised, and are now compounded by the effects of Covid-19. Lease structures are coming under increasing scrutiny, as both landlords and tenants seek ways to support businesses. Switching from open market rental to a turnover-based arrangement is an increasingly popular option for assisting tenants, and has the added advantage of being relatively familiar and well-established.

Simplified turnover rent arrangements are increasingly seen, but the idea is, nevertheless, one which can be complex in implementation. We will explore the issues of capturing all information on turnover in a rapidly-changing retail environment, and considers implications for lease provisions on alienation, user and more.

Learning objectives:

What is included in calculating turnover?
How does turnover translate into rent?
Ability to revert to an open market rent
Implications for alienation
Impact on rent review
Impact on break options
