Understanding Your Lease Terms: Defit, Make Good and Strip Out
Navigating lease-end requirements often comes down to understanding the distinct services required by your landlord:
- Defit: The partial or full stripping out of the current fit-out, including demolition, painting, plastering, service disconnections and rectification works back to base building standards.
- Strip Out: The systematic removal of existing interior components, such as walls, doors, plaster ceilings, shop fittings, joinery and HVAC/fire/electrical services, preparing the space for its next occupant.
- Make Good: Returning the physical space to its original state through floor rectification, patching and painting, signage and decal removal and final site cleaning to ensure full discharge from your lease obligations.
