A strip out is a term used for restoring leased premises back to their original state prior to ending a lease. In terms of commercial leases, you can think of a strip out as the ‘opposite of a fit out’. It is the removal of any fixtures, fittings, floors, walls, and facilities which were installed by the lessee.
You may have heard of it referred to by other names, such as a ‘defit’. These terms are used interchangeably with ‘strip out’.
Residential strip outs are convenient services used by lessees just prior to ending their lease. It’s a perfect solution for those who need to restore their house or apartment back to its original state, and includes modifications to paint, wallpaper, flooring, and so on.
After the strip out is completed, everything is left clean and tidy, ready for you to hand back the keys.
