Legal Question in Business Law in Maryland

commercial rental lease

my son bought a business and took over the lease from the prior owner. 1 1/2 years remain on lease.lessor came in Friday and said if you can sell equipment and be out in 2 weeks I will squash the lease. He wants to sell building. My son asked him what happens to all the money I put into this business, he said oh well! My son is very upset, now he will have a business with no building and no money to move equipment someplace else. it is an autobody shop.
