Legal Question in Consumer Law in Alabama

Breaking Commercial lease
Can I break a contract of leasing a commercial building that does not have air condition? When I signed the contract in January 2008 I did not know the air condition was not working. Later when I tried to turn the air conditioner on it would not come on. I informed the owner she stated that it was working for the last tenant but she would send someone out. She was told that the air conditioning unit needed replacing. My question is am I responsible for replacing it or can I break lease because she won't replace or fix it?

Re: Breaking Commercial lease

This appears to be only a portion of your lease and does not address responsibility of the air conditioning.

Put your demand in writing that the landlord repair the air conditioning and give them a deadline.

If you get no relief, make an appointment with a local attorney in your area to look at this in detail.
