Can a landlord terminate a building lease before the agreed-upon end date?

with background: 'Can a landlord legally terminate a building lease before the agreed-upon end date? I signed a lease for a commercial space for my small business, but due to unforeseen circumstances, the landlord has informed me that they want to terminate the lease early. I am concerned about the potential financial and operational impacts this may have on my business and want to understand my rights and options in this situation.

Michelle M.

Answered Mar 3, 2025

The answer to your question is contained in the lease. All rights and obligations of parties to a commercial lease are controlled by and provided for within the lease. If your lease provides for early termination by the landlord, then the landlord can exercise that option. If it doesn't provide for early termination and you are in compliance with the lease, then they can't terminate early (at least not without your consent). You should retain a local attorney who can review the lease and provide advice concerning your specific situation. Best of luck!

Can a landlord increase the rent on a commercial building lease without providing notice or justification?

I have been leasing a commercial building for my business for the past three years, and recently, my landlord informed me of a significant increase in the monthly rent. However, there was no prior notice or explanation given for this sudden increase, and I am concerned about the legality of such action. I want to know if the landlord has the right to raise the rent without providing any notice or justification, and what options I have to address this issue if it is indeed unfair or unlawful.

David U.

Answered Aug 13, 2024

In a vacuum, a landlord should not have a unilateral right to raise rent. A landlord may have the right to raise rents periodically, pursuant to the lease document. It is very much a contract issue. It depends on the exact wording of the lease agreement. The lease agreement will also detail the requirements for valid notification concerning the agreement. My experience over 25 years of practice is that most building lease agreements expressly provide for base rent to increase each year. A court will enforce most reasonable rental, escalation, clauses, and lease agreements. If there is no obvious language in the lease, the question becomes whether rental increase is implied under the wording of the document or an amendment to it. At the risk of being repetitive, it depends on what the lease says, if anything at all.
