Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New Jersey
commercial landlord/tennant - landlord closing building
i have a business. i am one of 4 businesses in my building. my landlord recently put an addition on the building to add another rental space. the landlord will be closing the entire building for 2 days to have electrical work done on the new addition. which in turn closes my business for 2 days. is the landlord in any way responsible for reimbursing my company for any losses incurred due to my company being closed?

Re: commercial landlord/tennant - landlord closing building
Probably so. Unless your lease provides for such a situation in a non-standard way, your landlord's closing of the building is a breach of the lease, in particular, your right of quiet enjoyment of the premises. The remedies that you have may be limited by the lease. It is possible that you may be entitled to all of your business losses but an assessment on that issue would require that I review the lease.
My firm handles matters of this type. If I can be of further help to you, call or email.

Your landlord might be liable, but your lease may absolve him of respnsibility.
