Breaking Commercial Lease Massachusetts
Summary
Breaking a commercial lease in Massachusetts involves reviewing the lease for termination clauses, negotiating with the landlord, or considering subleasing. Non-payment can lead to eviction after a 14-day notice. If evicted, you may still owe remaining rent unless the landlord fails to mitigate damages by re-renting. Landlords must make reasonable efforts to find new tenants and document these efforts. If they dont, you might challenge their claim for remaining rent. Consult a lawyer for specific advice.Full Conversation
