Repairing covenant

The tenant's promise to keep what it rents in good repair. On its own, that means putting the premises into good repair first, whatever their state at the start. Clause 5.2 limits Linnet's promise to the state recorded in the Schedule of Condition. Lease 5.2 · Chapter 6 · see Schedule of condition, Dilapidations, Yield up

Explained in Chapter 6, Repair and the Schedule of Condition, of Commercial Leases.
