Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New Jersey
lease agreement
Hi,
We own a store and out landlord send us a notice that the lease was not execute properly. He had given an old agreement to his attorney, which does nto comply to their rules. We had re-signed an agreement 2 times after the original date and prior to commencing of store renovation. the last copy was notarised as well. Now the landlord clains that he does'nt have the latest one and that the old one still is valid. He also mentioned that file is missing now and verbally said that he will accuse us for the file being missing. I need a few clarifications on that:
1. If a lease agreement is signed a few times which one is considered legal.
2. If the landlord accuses taht he had lost the file, who will be charged for that, since we do not have access to thier files.
3. He is threatning us by saying that all thsi can be gone if we do a favor to thier relative, who is also one of our partner. What do we do in this situation?

The leases have to be reviewed by an attorney to see if one cancels out the other.

Re: lease agreement
I can not tell what is going on, and I could not give you any advice except:
It sounds like your landlord is bullying you and making threats in order to get you to do something for his relative. That sounds wrong.
You need to sit down with an attorney who handles leases and landlord-tenant law (I do), and show the attorney all the documents. Then you should be able to get some advice and decide what to do.
Please call my office if you would like my assistance. I would be happy to speak to you on the telephone, but it will take more than just a brief telephone call to assist you with these issues.
