Dilapidation

Dilapidation is a term meaning a destructive event to a building, but more particularly used in the plural in English law for

  1. the waste committed by the incumbent of an ecclesiastical living
  2. the disrepair for which a tenant is usually liable when he has agreed to give up his premises in good repair.

Dilapidation is derived from the Latin for scattering the stones (lapides) of a building.
