On the other hand if a tenant pays dilaps at the end of lease they may merely be paying  repairs that they ought to have paid during the currency of the lease.

Possibly you ought to consider why they arise:

1. If merely making good routine repairs (painting every three/five years etc) then why are they exceptional?.

2. If making good because tenant improvements require removed there is more of an argument they are exceptional.

Having said that accounts disclosure was never my strong suit.

To understand why it is called Exceptional Cost would help you decide, should you treat it as Exceptional or as normal expense.

An exceptional cost is an unusually large and uncommon transaction charge that must be disclosed on the financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Remember consistency..
