Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Ohio

Re: Landlord Tenant Disagreement

Whether the landlord is right or whether you are right depends on the specific language in the lease. You will probably need a lawyer to review that language. If the business has no money, the business may be able to avoid most or all of any obligation it may have under the lease, but again, the question is a complicated one that requires careful analysis by an attorney. The analysis required is beyond the scope of anything that can be done on this forum.

Equally important to you is the possibility that even if the business has no money and can avoid paying the sums that the landlord is claiming are due, the lease may have obligated you personally to pay. Again, this depends on the specific language in the lease. Before you take any action, you should have a lawyer review the specific language in the lease.
