In June of 2009 I signed a 5 year commercial lease for my business in my name (not my business name it was required by landlord). Shortly after my husband was laid off from his job. He has been looking locally for a job ever since and not found one. He found a job, but it means a move for our family and to either sell, close or move our business. My business is thriving with me working there 5 days a week but if I hired it all out I would cut my income to the point where it wouldn't be worth staying in business. On top of everyting we have several maintenance concerns with the building that are not being addressed despite numerous written requests. Can I get out of my lease agreement early...strategically what is the best thing for me to do?
