Q: Terminate commercial lease
I have a commercial lease agreement for a fixed term in Florida for my startup business. There are some disputes with the landlord and incorrect information in the lease agreement. I would like to exit the property right away and seeing legal advice on the lease agreement.
Can I pay all my rent due till date and vacate the property ?
A: The answer to your question depends on whether you have a valid, enforceable lease agreement, and if so, whether there are lease terms that dictate how the parties must attempt to resolve the types of disputes you are having, and on whether there is any issue of landlord's failure to meet certain types of repair obligations (if any such obligations exist). Bottom line: schedule a consultation with an attorney to review the lease and your circumstances.
