Re: Commercial Lease
Contact your local building, housing, and/or health inspectors.
If they give you reports indicating your problems, you send landlord a certified letter to repair damage, or you are leaving.
Any further problems after that, contact an attorney.
Because of how much. and how long, it would be to educate you, I am sending a booklet from the Legal Aid office in Riverside and San Bernardino counties, which will explain a lot of your concerns.
Good luck, and feel free to e-mail my office, if you need more help.
