Legal Question in Business Law in New Jersey

big problems. you need a lawyer right away. if you are locked out, your customers will go away and you will be out of business even if the landlord has no legal right to do this.

As H.L. Mencken said, �For every problem there is a solution that is simple, neat and wrong.� There is some case law which suggests that a commercial landlord may unilaterally reclaim possession of leased premises from a nonpaying tenant, even without resort to the courts.

Kindly note and remember that my response is merely a general comment on the law related to your question, and NOT legal advice or opinion. Also, your question and my response does NOT create an attorney-client relationship between us. You cannot rely upon what I have written, because I do not have all of the information that I need to advise you or render an opinion. Even simple facts you have not shared can completely change my answer. For me to give you legal advice or opinion, you would need to hire me to be your lawyer, and then we would need to discuss this in detail and go over the documents.
