ABSTRACT
The amount of the compensation recoverable shall be the cost, at the date of quitting, of making good the dilapidation, deterioration or damage (section 71(2)).
However, the landlord can, instead of claiming under section 71(1), claim under the terms of a tenancy agreement (section 71(3)), which is the normal basis underwhichmost dilapidation claims aremade.Where a claim is made under the provisions of the tenancy agreement, section 71(4)(b) states that compensation shall not be claimed in respect of any one holding, under both such tenancy agreement and section 71(1).
