Should I stop paying rent if repairs are delayed?

Commercial leases often establish specific rights and responsibilities regarding rent, repairs, and dispute resolution. Because lease terms vary significantly, tenants should carefully review their lease and seek appropriate legal advice before taking actions that could affect their contractual obligations.

Maintaining open communication with property management while following the lease generally provides the strongest foundation for resolving disputes.

Business decisions involving lease obligations should be made carefully and with a full understanding of the potential consequences.
