Legal Question in Business Law in Florida

Tenants Rights!

I am the owner of a retail business. My lease is soon to end (1/30/07) my landlord is sending a form to finalize the fact that I will not be renewing. She stated that she can bring future new tenants into my place of business to show off the space. Does she have that right? If so can I place restrictions?

Re: Tenants Rights!

Your lease should spell this out. The property may be shown on reasonable notice to the current tenant.

Normally, a business lease discusses this matter in its content. You should review the terms of your current lease which would generally allow a 30 - 90 day period is which to place a "for rent" sign on the premises and to show the property to prospective tenants.

If you have any specifice questions or need help reviewing your current lease, you should consult a competent attorney for advice.
