Q: Commercial Sublease: Do I have any rights?
I am subleasing an office space in Orlando. The sublessor has been late the last 4 months even thought I paid my rent to them. As a result, the property landlord has sent me eviction notices the last 4 months. Ultimately, by the middle of each month, the sublessor remits payment. I can not go throught this for another year, not knowing whether I cam going to be evicted or not. The market rent is much too high so I would leave later this year when the lease is up anyway. Do I have any rights for an early exit instead of being forced at the last minute to find space? Thanks
A: It will depend up the terms of your sublease, but yes, perhaps. Consult with an attorney who can review the sublease document and all surrounding circumstances.

A: It's between your subleasor and you. Review your sublease agreement if any. You are in no privity with the landlord.
