Hi,
Our office suite has just been sold by the current landlord. Our commercial lease on our office comes to an end in January 2015 and we are looking to relocate as the offices are now too big for our purposes.
We have been in the same office suite for the past 8 years, and originally paid to have specific data cabling, trunking, phone system (incl. all the switch gear) etc. installed to suit us as a business at that time.
Also we had custom made blinds installed for all the windows.
The owner of the business is convinced that when we move out, the landlord should purchase the cabling, power upgrades , trunking and blinds etc. from us.
Is a land lord obliged purchase this type of fixture/fitting from the tenant?
Is the tenant within their tenants rights to take such fixture/fitting with them when they leave?
If the tenant does take the fixtures/fittings with them, who is responsible for 'making good' afterwards?
