A: Maryland law does not have a default notice provision for commercial leases and such terms are up to negotiation between the parties.

Each specific lease should describe whether or not early termination is allowed, for what reasons, what type of penalties apply for getting out early and what type of notice is required. Parties to a commercial lease are strongly encouraged to review same with legal counsel.

While I hope this general information helps it isn't legal advice and doesn't analyze specific situations raised by an online post.
