Who pays for repairs on commercial property?

Updated: Sep 3, 2022

When it comes to the question of whether your tenant or yourself are responsible for repairs...it can get tricky. That's why we provided some guidance for you below.

Property repair and damage

A commercial property lease is a legal contract that provides tenants with the rights over a property for a set period of time, liable to the terms and conditions within the legally binding document.


The question of ‘who pays for repairs in commercial property?’ often rises as terms can differ from those of a residential property as there is no one rule fits all.


Commonly, tenants will be responsible for the rented property, therefore any damages to areas such as the walls, fixtures, and fittings leave the tenants liable.


The landlord, meanwhile, is responsible for structural problems that may arise such as leaks in the roof, cracks in walls, and other major defects.
