Legal Question in Business Law in Florida

Business Lease

As Lessee, an addendum to my business lease contains a stipulation that during the term of the Lease, or any renewal thereof, the Lessee would have the first right of refusal on certain other spaces when they became available. Unaware to me those other

spaces became available and the Landlord rented them. I was never notified of their availability and never given the first right of refusal on them. My question is: Is the Landlord in default and if so can I legally cancel the Lease?

Re: Business Lease

You can terminate the lease if the landlord's

default is considered to be material. Whether it

is or not depends upon the judge or jury trying the case.

To give you an opinion, an attorney would need to

review the lease agreement and gather other information.

I strongly suggest you seek the advice of an attorney

before making any rash decision.
