The Main Rule of the Commercial Rent Act
While private homes by default let the property landlord "Pay for everything permanent" by common normal B2B "The Law of Wear and Tear," the state Commercial Rent Act shows in its starting-base form (Paragraph) that the landlord in principle also has the responsibility. BUT it IS - IN B2B legally widespread - ALWAYS laid completely over to the commercial Tenant via the B2B agreement contract.
The Fixed "Interface Document" (Grænsefladeskema)
No Building Administrator formats "maintenance" as a small note in the B2B contract text. The absolutely most form-fixed B2B document for the industry for EjendomDanmark forms appendix B2B: "Interface Form - for B2B Building parts". A Form that is checked up B2B U (Landlord / Udlejer) and L (Tenant / Lejer) for:
- EXTERIOR MAINTENANCE: Roof, masonry and form panes (however - if a pane is smashed, the tenant's B2B VANDALISM liability attaches). (U = Landlord - in standard).
- INTERIOR Machines: Cooling systems, Painting, ventilation, and shop Alarm. (L = Tenant = standard)
- Lock Corrections (L = Tenant standard).
Return Delivery at Move-Out
Unlike the private residential lease law in the B2B Market - The REQUIREMENT and the duty for a commercial tenant to deliver its location BACK in The BRAND - NEW ORIGINAL condition mostly has complete validity in court. The tenant must pay for the Demolition of Built Room walls from the B2B box, etc., upon contract departure.
