A landlord can claim for dilapidations during the tenancy if they are aware of mistreatment of the property. However, in most cases the landlord is expected to serve a schedule of dilapidations within a reasonable time on the tenant, not more than 56 days after the end of the tenancy. The landlord and tenant will then be required to enter into negotiations to establish how the repairs will be carried out and ensure that a sufficient conclusion will be reached.
