I have purchased a small Café/Takeaway which has a cold-room (already fitted). I would like to know who has to cover the repairs on a cold room under a commercial lease.
Thank you I will do that. Yes I have a lease.Are you leasing the premises? Check to see if the issue of maintaining the cool room is dealt with in your lease. (assuming you have one)
Have just looked over a copy of the lease and there is no mention of the Cold room only about fixtures: Right to Remove Fixtures - during the last month of the term and within 7 days after the end of the lease remove all tenant's fixtures, floor coverings and signs erected by the tenant during the term or purchased with the landlord's consent from any previous tenant of the leased premises (except any fixtures which the landlord or its predecessors in title have paid for) provided they can be removed without causing damage to the lease premises.Thank you I will do that.

The cold room will NO Doubt damage the walls, and is placed on a concrete platform.
My lease also has a section: Abandoned fittings belong to landlord. Basically this part states that any property left by myself or previous tenant becomes the property of the Landlord.
So does this mean the Landlord is Liable to you also?
