Hi ****! What specific legal issue are you facing in New Brunswick? Let me know so I can provide you with the most relevant information.
I am seeking advice regarding a commerical lease as a (former) tenant.
I operated a business with no written lease agreement with the landlord, and no expectation of rent. Use of the space was a verbal agreement to use their unoccupied space. At the same time I operated, they also used about */* of the space for their own use.
Back in July, they gave approx. * weeks notice via text saying "bad news - its gotta come down by Aug *, sorry" citing fire Marshall as reason.
We agreed, and tore down structures that had been built and waste removed by that date. I updated the landlord that was done, they thanked me. I then had remaining garbage, supplies, etc removed in the following weeks. They acknowledged, and then asked about carpet that needed to replaced. I agreed to replace the carpet, at own expense.
While in the process of replacing the areas of carpet, they messaged saying the carpet i chose was unacceptable and needed to match existing.

- Verbal agreements are legally binding but can be challenging to prove.

In your situation, verbal agreements can be complicated, especially with subjective terms like the type of carpet. Since you didn't have an agreement on matching the carpet, it might be challenging to enforce. Consider discussing with the landlord to reach a mutual understanding or seek legal advice for clarity.
