Re: commercial lease termination law
It all depends on the circumstances, and the contract you sign with the landlord.
Basically, it is landlord's property, and, under ordinary circumstances, it wouldn't matter what he does, or will do, with his property.
If you break your lease and "walk away". he can get a judgment. He can also garnish your wages, attach your bank account, put liens on your cars, and any real estate you own. A judgment is on the books for 10 years, and is renewable at expiration.

Your lease is controlling. You should, or you should have someone review your lease and provide you with exit strategies or options to avoid any possible future issues with your landlord. THis surely would mean getting the Landlord involved.
