Montgomery, AL asked in Consumer Law, Contracts, Criminal Law and Real Estate Law for Alabama

Q: Landlord changed locks on a commercial property I've leased till 2020 without notice. Should I call locksmith to get in?

The commercial property is leased in Montgomery .The contract states that it's for two years ending in 2020. A week ago today the landlord and I had a disagreement about a sublease she wanted to add to the contract already signed .The sublease states I give up half of the property leased to other tenant along with covering any utilities used by tenant. I disagreed so she wants me to move . The property in question was restored by my business after it sat vacant for years. After restoring property she now wants more rent. Currently all rent is paid in full. No reason for eviction all other requirements stated in lease have not been violated. I have reached out to landlord no response.

Called County Courthouse no evictions has been file.
