Re: Law suit

It is impossible to tell what your legal rights are, without looking at the lease and finding out a lot more information.

You really need to consult with (and pay) an attorney to look it over and give you some guidance. You may end up owing a great deal of money, so I think it really is worth having a lawyer assist you.

Yes you can sue, and my opinion is that you would have 6 years to do so under a contractual statute of limitations, but I would certainly not wait that long. Do you have a written lease agreement? where is the property located? Bruce Gudin, Esq.
