landlord supply responsibility

[jimmymack56]

Hi,can anyone tell me what is the minimum a landlord has to supply in a small industrial unit, does he have to supply emergency lighting, fire alarm,hot water? or is that the tenants responsibility, or does anyone know where this information can be found,Thanks

Depends on the terms of the lease.
It can be anything from an empty box that the tennant fits out, to a fully fitted and maintained interior.

What does the tenancy agreement say.

I have been asked by the owner of 6 new units he has had built ,2 are 3 phase the rest single, His budget is maxed out so needs to know the minimum install he has to supply to start renting out and pull some money back

I would say an isolator off the metering.
But, what do I know!

 

[jimmymack56]

I think that is probably what he will put in if thats all he needs to rent it out,he is not sure about emergency lighting and fire alarm

The Landlord's insurance company may have something to say about whether the Landlord installs and maintains a fire alarm, linked through all units.

In my experience the minimum is a meter and a DB/CU.

Having been both a tenant & an installer, a supply is minimum The type & rest of install is down to the lease agreed to.

As other have said it really depends on the contact, any insurance requirements, what customers he's looking to attract ect

If the landlord isn't specifying what the space is used for it will be up to the tenant to specify the way it's fitted out and what safety requirements apply. It'll be different for a warehouse and an office, or combination of the two, for example.
Typically the tenant will install services to suit their needs and at the end of the lease put it back to how it was, or pay the landlord to put it back. As others have said, it's down to the rental contract.

By law or code their is no mandated minimum capacity,
It's purely up to the tenant and landlord to agree on.
But I would imagine for best possible chance of tenants three phase is used by vast majority of industrial tenants so for best chance I would go for three phase. Minimum of 30A per phase.
The tenant may even be prepaired to do the electrical fit. out if the tenancy agreement is economical enough.
